Right the West would never hire a company like UC Global to spy on a journalist famous for criticizing governments. And they certainly wouldn't encourage them to kidnap or assassinate that person. They deserve for their kidnappings to be called "extraordinary rendition."

This is a crime because it happened in the US, targeting an American. Does the article claim any morality high ground? Are you saying this isn't an indictable crime because every country does the same?
I was replying to a specific post that was discussing the morality of the West.

Though, I think it should also be a crime for the US to plot the kidnapping or assassination of foreign dissidents too.

Wikileaks was created by Assange while he was in the US?
They're talking about Alinejad, Assange isn't an American.
