"Diplomatic immunity". If they start seizing US embassy personnel, they should expect their own embassy personnel to be expelled from the US.

Criminal courts should not get involved in this kind of thing.

" If they start seizing US embassy personnel, they should expect their own embassy personnel to be expelled from the US."

If they start seizing US embassy personell they should expect that we will come an get those people.

The story of torture is unsubstantiated, and the supposed victim is back in jail in a forengn country, after having been released? That doesn't add up.

If this person was taken into custody, the Italian government denying being involved doesn't doesn't impress me as being very credible either.

It's very unlikely that we kidnapped a person in Italy against their government's wishes.

However, if they're harboring terrorists, we should do a bit more than just collect the terrorists for questioning. We should boot their diplomats out of our country and cut of diplomatic relations.
