>As far as I know, there is no other countries in the world with such an insane policy.
This is inherent in being the most powerful country in the world. The US has the ability to do it, so why wouldn't they? You're not a US citizen, so the federal government cares even less about abstract fairness than they usually do.
Yes, that's why RT picked up the story, because it's a good propaganda piece that shows that the US does not care about fairness abroad, simply raw interest.
Well, I guess it could go both ways, but I learnt it as even if it's true it can still be propaganda - propaganda isn't inherently misleading, but you always have to be careful.
