Okay, Pro Libertate has produced the most lucid review of L’affair Lundeby I can find. It is long and somewhat convoluted. Purists may be miffed.

Here is the tantalizing money quote excerpt:

My view is that Ashton — although demonstrably involved in hijinks that are hardly innocent Tom Sawyeresque stunts updated for the cyber age — is legally innocent; that there remain grounds for due process concerns in this case; and that we should never underestimate the troublesome creativity of federal prosecutors.

This case is strange. Since there has been no bail set, he is being detaining illegally, probably as a material witness. Federal prosecutors, of course, are above the law.
