"The method used to remove Caton from the country -- kidnapping -- is probably the most egregious charge leveled against the FDA. Before his scheduled court date, Ecuadorian police illegally removed Greg Caton from his cell in Ecuador without court authorization, and put him on an American Airlines jet. One of Cathryn Caton's contacts at the airport recognized a US State Department employee, and happened to know the man's identity due to his presence at Greg Caton's hearings in Ecuador. Caton's contact informed her that the State Department employee was directing the Ecuadorian police on how to slip Greg Caton out of Ecuador."
"The Ecuadorian Federal Judge in charge of Caton's appeal was contacted and went to the airport in person, where he informed American Airlines that they were engaged in an illegal action, and presented paperwork ordering the release of Greg Caton. American Airlines refused to allow Caton off of the plane, and claimed that they were not subject to Ecuadorian laws even while in Ecuador, that they were technically US soil (a privilege enjoyed by embassies). The jet was then allowed to leave the airport, and Caton was transported to Miami, Florida. The Ecuadorian police officers flew out of the country on the airplane with Caton according to witnesses, but the US State Department employee who directed the action stayed in Ecuador. Cathryn Caton wants to know who paid for their airline tickets."
