Good news, but lets not forget that winning the battle isn't winning the war.
The dropping of the case means that the legality of the ITAR restrictions goes
untested. Had the case not been dropped it would have expired shortly under the
statute of limitations.
The real issue here is the abuse of the investigative powers of the FBI in
support of their own political agenda.
