Imagine This

Say, for the sake of illustration, that you are doing business with a Russian company. The deal goes sour and your Russian business partner files charges against you in a Moscow court.

So there you are, walking down the streets of New York City, when a few goons from the Russian FSB grab you, stuff you in a van and before you know it, you're sitting in the Lefortovo Prison. You probably will be outraged, your family will be outraged. There will probably be no end of politicians denouncing your abduction. You might think that no civilized nation would comport itself that way, that certainly there are rules and procedures that have to be followed, that a nation can't simply go around snatching another nation's citizens off its streets.

Well, you'd be wrong. For our government says it can do exactly that.
