Re: US says it has right to kidnap British citizens
I wonder if it would work for an English, shooting down an American on the street, and try to get away with it by pointing the court to the the US Supreme Court sanction and excusing the shooting on grounds of social alarm, fear and paranoia.. "I'm so sorry, how could I know for sure? I thought that he was out there to kidnap me and my family.. I overreacted!"
