    It’s interesting that you mention the Assange connection, Craig.

    He still hasn’t been seen or spoken in public since his return to Australia on 26th June – over two months ago. Stella has been in Europe for the last few weeks – so he’s obviously not spending “quality time” with her.

    It is entirely plausible to wonder if perhaps Julian might be being gagged (for example under the provisions of the ASIO Act).

    You haven’t spoken to him. I can’t find anyone anywhere who has actually spoken to him since his return. Maybe his ordeal isn’t over after all, and just maybe all these serious concerns you raise in this article still apply to Julian. I think we owe it to him to find out if he is actually free to speak, but just doesn’t feel like it, or if he is being silenced still.

    Craig, your help with this would be valuable since you have the connections.

    The US now reserves the right to kidnap anyone, anywhere in the world, and for any reason or no reason – and, in American Law, there’s no recourse for the abductee to pursue for justice.

    “This will open the floodgates to more U.S. government kidnappings and expand radically the power of American presidents to seize political or journalist adversaries abroad just to silence them. It also gives American presidents another tool for war below the radar as they can now legally — but not constitutionally — send small armies of federal agents dressed in military garb and possessing military gear into any countries the president chooses in order to extract someone the president hates or fears.”

    “This is not the rule of law. This is the rule of brute force. And because no American need be harmed and no American law need be broken, the president can target literally any foreigner he chooses.”

    A good point.

    “If it is lawful for the U.S. government to enter Mexico and kidnap a Mexican physician for prescribing drugs, is it lawful for the Chinese government to enter Hawaii and kidnap an American tech executive for bribing Chinese officials? ”
