NP: I won't even go into espionage charges except to say I believe in the rule of international law

[Mark Kohut]

Thomas,

Since I haven't been following the Julian saga for a while, this is good

Thanks.

I did feel uncomfortable just mentioning 'charges' when I did not really
know what they were or read anything
about them, so I apologize to Julian and hope for a fairer trial than seems
likely.
