I think I am beginning to understand this Special Relationship. It means that the US can kidnap any UK citizen it likes and the UK get to just put up with it. I suppose that is special after all. On the other hand what also makes it special is that the UK can have a quiet word with the US and unofficially request that one or two or perhaps more of their citizens be 'kidnapped' by the US as long as the 'intelligence' delivered by those kidnapped is shared. That seems fair. :marchmellow:
