This tribal mentality of "US"(A) vs. them is outdated. We live in a global world where while laws haven't caught up, you can use your head and judge whether something is right or wrong. It's clear when someone - anyone - regardless of nationality is being abused for political reasons. Would you want to spend the rest of your life in either of their situations? For something you did once? For something that benefitted millions of people? I'm not saying they're clear of any responsibility and shouldn't have been punished, but this is beyond anything reasonable.

The problem with that is that not everyone comes up with the same answer. Maybe most do in a majority of cases, but many times the answers diverge. Which is why we have to codify the expectations so even if you believe that action XYZ is OK, you are on notice that society has agreed and published that it's not (or vice versa).
