US ‘Kidnaps’ Russian MP’s Son To ‘Exchange Him For Snowden’

via RT‘s 

A Russian MP claims the US kidnapped his son from the Maldives on bogus cyber-fraud charges and may be preparing to offer him as bait in a swap deal for Edward Snowden.

Roman Seleznyov, 30, was arrested at Male international airport as he was about to board a flight to Moscow. He was forced by US secret service agents to board a private plane to Guam and was later arrested. The Russian ministry slammed his detention as “a de-facto kidnapping.”

Moscow considers the kidnapping “a new hostile move by Washington,” and accused the US of ignoring proper procedure in dealing with foreign nationals suspected of crimes.

Granted everything the Russian MP is saying is probably not true, imagine 2 things:  Imagine if a US congressman was saying what this guy is saying and secondly, imagine if it was true.  Whatever is true here, certainly the perception in Russia is that they will believe him because here in the US we would probably believe that person too.  The truth is never important, perception is.  That said, that he is being held in Guam says alot and is very shady so maybe we did kidnap him.  There is more details in the RT article that is linked above.
