For those who care about excesses of zeal, the Elashi brothers (operators as well as sponsor delagees of .iq) of someplace in Texas, were charged with giving money to Hamas or a charity linked to Hamas, and sending a PC to Syria, and parts of a PC -- perhaps a mouse pad -- to Libya.
Thanks Dan, I've read it, several times, and the prior and subsequent filings, and the referenced export regs as well. It all comes down to pretending a PC is a supercomputer, pretending that ordinary Syrians, let alone nuclear weapons proliferating Syrians, didn't, in this period, routinely drive from Damascus to Beruit, and an untested claim of money laundering, and a lot of highly excited politically ambitious people in North America. The Elashis didn't run a great cctld before the present excitement, but a lot of cctld operators could then be, and can now be, similarly characterized. Eric
