From the Times, spotted via Warren Ellis...

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.

It's not completely unexpected, and not something our government is going to do anythign about - they're too busy buying each other off with donations for peerages.
