Around here a few years ago they had a trial against a couple of guys
who sold old VAXes to the Soviet Union.  They were charged with
treason because they were breaking some export rules.  They weren't
convicted, though, I think it was something about the export rules not
being a law in Finland.

For some reason the U.S. troups didn't come to Finland to kill a few
thousand people and take these guys to USA for a trial like they did
with another person in another country.
