| Tracking Down an Online Slanderer |

| The Costa Rican government has asked the FBI to help track down the person who put up a web page from an American server allegedly slandering the country of Costa Rica. The web page, which has since been taken down, accuses the women of Costa Rica of being prostitutes and the men of being homosexual. |
| This doesn't make sense for two reasons: (1) How can it be a crime in America to criticize Costa Rican sexual practices? And if it isn't, then why the hell should the American FBI get involved? (2) If the men in Costa Rica are all homosexual, then with whom are the women commiting prostitution? (Unless of course the women are either lesbian prostitutes or there's a booming foreign tourist trade.) |

| Actually, prostitution is legal in Costa Rica. The tourist trade is more banging than booming. |
