"Dotcom had been held in custody since an anti-terrorist police squad raided his Coatesville mansion last month..."

Doesn't anyone find it odd that the entertainment industry can manipulate governments into sending these specialized teams (anti-terrorist in New Zealand, SWAT in the US)? What are they telling these people? Are you telling me that if the police had sent over one or two squad cars with a couple of cops that Dotcom would have escaped?

How much does an operation like this cost? I can't believe it's that cheap.
