There have been quite a few high profile people convicted of espionage over the years, so you never know. This guy could be one of them, but at least let him have his day court.
I had a hard time understanding what rights are being taken away from this person that are guaranteed in a Constituion. Liberty? ...effectively meaning freedom... it hasn't been taken away (limited, but not taken away), He and His wife aren't being held in some prison in Cuba. He is simply not able to work until he clears his name. Just because an ACLU lawyer says rights are being taken away, it doesn't mean rights are taken away. This man is not charged with anything... just on a "watch" list...he's not being held without Writ to Habeas Corpus or something like that.
Perhaps he has posted things on internet forums, etc, etc .. must be more to the story.
