At a certain point in time this is nothing more than kidnapping isn't it? This guy attacked the US Embassy in Libya, and broke the law in Libya. He needs to be arrested in Libya, detained in Libya, charged there, and put on trial there. He hasn't broken any US laws, nor does the US have the right to just grab someone in a foreign country.

Right?

I mean, if someone attacked the Norwegian embassy in the US, Norway doesn't have the legal right to invade the US and kidnap a US citizen. If this happened the US would be up in arms over it.
Oh come on Rockhard.. You were in the Military weren't you? You should understand that any country's embassies are considered their own soil no matter what county it's in. This is not US exclusive, it's all countries, even embassies here in the US are considered their own country's soil. Meaning if you attack one, it's the same as attacking the actual country.
