 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.
