While I sympathize with anyone being tried on trumped up and probably
racially motivated charges, I'm not particular enthusiatic about giving
"financial or emotional support" to a guy whose work (assuming he was
innocent) involved building bombs whose primary purpose is to terrorize or
threaten third world populations.

So the system turned around and bit him on the ass. Pehaps the
prosecution will serve as a wake-up call or deterent to others who think
selling their skills to the DOD is an honest way to make a living.
