Who's to say the message wasn't sent by me using a U.S. citizen's name? How would they even be able to tell that a real person sent the comment, even if the domain name were registered to a U.S. person or company? All in all, the whole setup appears rather less than watertight to me. Remember, these considerations apply equally to pro-MS messages.
