Good, and thanks for clearing it up.
>I am saying that independent of anything Nacchio has to say, he does not appear to have been convicted on trumped-up charges. But that belief is extremely common; even Jason Kottke featured it on his popular blog.
That's fine, but I don't think it makes much difference if the charges were trumped up or legit. When you've got the NSA, you don't always need to trump up charges.

One of Nacchio's complaints was that he wasn't allowed to disclose certain exculpatory facts in public.
