“We captured someone in another country as per conjunction with US law enforcement”

You just can’t make this shit up- but they did.

Worse, we kidnapped a head of state and his wife. As to the law enforcement thing, it means the DOJ collaborated on trumping up charges to make it sound legit.

Also, framing it this way makes it sound like US police were involved, which will legitimize this with a great many Americans.

"Must be a bad guy if the cops had him in their sights."

DOJ spymaster going through the books for that casus belli.
