US says it has right to kidnap British citizens

Web posted at: 12/3/2007 2:22:38

Source ::: The Sunday Times
London • America has told Britain that it can “kidnap” British citizens if they are wanted for crimes in the United States. A senior lawyer for the American government has told the Court of Appeal in London that kidnapping foreign citizens is permissible under American law because the US Supreme Court has sanctioned it.

Your comments please !!

I agree. Anyway, I am not talking about violent kidnapping. Gentle kidnapping, that's what I'm talking about.

Money and power rules!!!!!!

This has been going on for a long time by many countries not just America.

Can Britain or any other country request the same from America?

I think they would declare war the next day.

With all the treaties that are signed world wide, there is always an "exemption" to the Americans.

Well, if any person is there for sabotage or to conduct any terrorist related activities why should he/she be not arrested for the reason of them being UK citizens.
