Well we haven't heard anything about it over here and KHaN stays closely in touch with what our government is doing. Not that he didn't miss something but no one here knows about it yet.
It could be something as simple as a fake story (like in The Onion) that got taken seriously (as did one in China, remember the thread Ziroc posted recently?).
Anyway its my opinion that our government is given to negotiations and peaceful resolve with other countries where their people are being held prisoner unless there is a threat of them being murdered without cause.
If they are proposing this kind of thing as some lawful action, it would have to be far-reaching, not just focused on one country and even then there would have to be strict guidelines to follow, an attempt at peaceful negotiations being one of the first.
Our country is not one to push others around but when we've been pushed and have to resolve to shoving back, we've been known to do what is necessary...not that we always succeed, but at least we try.
