Hello Ross,

 MV>> Right. And so he was convicted for what the court thought was his

Point is, Menno Blom was convicted for his *intent*, not for something he
actually did. Now tell that to Frank Scheidt.

I know that. I also keep telling you that such methods are illegal in The
Netherlands and most other European countries.

It was a US policeman applying these law enforcement metheds outside his
jurisdiction on a citezen of another country while in that country that made me
write the article in the first place.

That still does not prove what his intent was at the moment he set foot on US
soil. he himself claimed he changed his mind during the flight. Now disprove
that.

In the menno Blom case, you preventing nothing. There was no girl and Menno
Blom would not have come to the US had he not been invited by that police
officer.

The crima was *fabricated* by the police and it all started by that police
officer breakijng *our* laws.

 >>> But Menno could have avoided all of this

Your police could have avoided it by not attempting to enforce their laws in
other countries.

Cheers, Michiel
