Does NZ have any presence in Afghanistan? Last I heard they had sold off most of their military and (unlike Australia, who still buy into all the hubris) don't waste money on silly foreign pissing contests.
No idea, but Dotcom, as far as I am aware, is not planning on suing the NZ government; he is actually (at least according to the summary) planning on suing the US government to fund his venture. The poster I was replying to was suggesting that we should not be happy with anyone suing the US government as the money ultimately comes out of the US taxpayers wallet. My point was simply that $400 million, while a lot of money, is a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of the war in Afghanistan ($582 billion according to google) and should not be used as an excuse to deny Dotcom justice.
