"Dutch authorities say an Iraqi-born Dutch citizen, suspected of
plotting attacks on American forces in Iraq, has been extradited to the
United States.

Wesam al-Delaema was put on a plane and flown to an undisclosed location in
the US after losing his final appeal against extradition in December.

He is set to become the first suspect tried in a US court for allegedly
plotting attacks on US forces in Iraq.

Mr Delaema denies charges of "possessing a destructive device".

Authorities say the evidence against him includes a videotape he made of
Iraqi insurgents preparing a roadside bomb.

Hang on......where's the crime? Dutch citizen in Iraq films local Iraqis
resisting US forces via explosive devices.

The US is moving into much more dangerous areas wrt liberty & crime. I
thought it had started backing away from nutty precedents like this.

As an example were the US/UK ever to be held by some gov to have organized
a war of aggression then any journalist who covered US/UK mil preparations
or were embedded with the mil could be charged with "possessing a
destructive device".

This action strikes me as deeply ill advised.
