A Russian businessman was accused of assisting terrorists by selling them weapons out of Thailand. So the US promptly kidnapped him and prosecuted him in New York. Now he is apparently facing minimum of 25 years of prison in the USA.

The USA reckons Bout is guilty of "plotting to kill American citizens". Bout is saying he was trying to sell airplanes.

I don't know much more of this and I dislike the sale of weapons in general, about as much as I dislike the idea of kidnapping people and dragging them off to a foreign country to face trial.

What are peoples views on this? Does Victor Bout get what's coming to him, or is this a travesty of justice?
