Guess my question would be what is "wrongful" about the detention of someone who plead guilty?

US has dumped 100b in a proxy war against Russia - what did he think was going to happen to her? And it's hard for anyone to say boo - considering all the people we have detained in this country for similar reasons. Not saying right/wrong - just saying that there's no moral high ground to call for her release.
