They don't seem to do much of that kind of kidnapping to put people on public trial, do they? The only case I know of was Eichmann's extraction to Israel. I assumed (but I'm not sure) that those kinds of operations were kept secret.
All that to say, I doubt they'd secretly kidnap Assange to put him on trial in the US for... publishing documents given to him by other leakers? It's not exactly a clear cut case, I don't think. It'd be more politically agreeable to kidnap some terrorist for that kind of thing.
- themartorana 10y agoNo, we don't do so much kidnapping (unless it leads to trial-less imprisonment at a CIA black site) as assassinations (the most public being Osama Bin Laden, of course).
