Disclaimer : I do admire great US companies such as Verisign, Google, 
Amazon, etc.
I like Apple, Coca Cola and Mickey Mouse.
I'm still an Obama supporter, as I was four years ago (I can prove it. 
It's on the Internet ;-))
I like so called "America". A great nation. My mother married an US 
marine. And half of my family are American people.

I'm not either an anti-American nor a spy. Can we begin free talks now?

That was the result, for sure.

Not necessarily the main intentions. "Procès d'intention" (Google 
translate bugged, sorry...) are not fair, do you know?

A journalist may have political opinions and may express them. The 
journalist's duty is to prove what she/he says with documents or 
arguments. He/she has to provide readers means for thinking. But she/he 
cannot be deprived of freedom of thinking or speeching, isn't it?

As you are not a journalist, I guess, dear Koven, you may freely write 
your opinion on this list...
