My question was pretty simple: Does anything you posted here enlighten us as to how abducting a Canadian citizen and dumping him in a Syrian jail at the mercy of Syrian jailers can be deemed "lawful"?

It's a pretty simple answer it seems to me. Definition: Anything the US does is legal. Treaties are "quaint" documents that don't apply to the US. Who's going to do anything about it anyway?

What's the worst the world can do...The Canadians sending a letter of protest? We'll ball it up and drop it in the trash.

Sure it's illegal and shameful. But no one can do anything about it. And the American public at large doesn't even care enough to raise an eyebrow.
