Well, I suppose that's why these files were leaked. There is a grave injustice going on, and if I were American, I'd be so fucking pissed about it. I'm already pissed enough at my own government (mostly under Harper) for dropping the ball on protecting a victim of war crimes against a minor. The fact that this kind of thing is still going on is so far beyond the pale that it's maddening.

So while it might be apparent that there are laws that permit what's going on in GB, I'm suspicious and I suspect it's not the case. I don't see the legality of it. Is it internally legal? It appears not to be externally legal, as roachboy points out. It certainly isn't ethical.

Try to stay focused.
