He was on foreign soil in a country with no extradition treaty to the US. With the help of local bounty hunters, the Marshal's captured him, put a bag over his head, and put him on a plane back.


So, isn't that like invading a foreign country and breaking the law? Or so Americans think they can do anything they like? How'd they fill if some foreign power did the same in American soil?


They do because they can. Others don't because they wouldn't dare.

The only exception is Mossad who have a history of both foreign soil kidnap and assassination. Russia has a history of assassination.
