But nonetheless your point is valid. If it was a lesser known figure I think a covert capture would actually cross the minds of some US House members.
As it is, I think he's too high profile for the US to act. So we're left with a handful of mentally awol House members who are littering the public discourse with their silly ideas.

Your right, he's way to high profile to dissapear, and I doubt that the house members are stupid enough to be discussing that. If they were they've been reading to many Tom Clancy novels.
I think at this point, for the U.S. government the damage is done. While the documents released about Canada were interesting they weren't unexpected.

Judd told U.S. officials that a videotaped recording of a tearful Omar Khadr at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay would trigger "knee-jerk anti-Americanism" and "paroxysms of moral outrage, a Canadian specialty."
- Judd said that CSIS was not encouraged by progress in Afghanistan, due in part to President Hamid Karzai's "weak leadership, widespread corruption, the lack of will to press ahead on counter-narcotics, limited Afghan security force capability (particularly the police) and, most recently, the Sarpoza prison break."
- Judd told the Americans that "he and his colleagues are 'very, very worried' about Iran." CSIS had talked recently to Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security after that agency requested its own "channel of communication to Canada," he said. The Iranians had agreed to "help" on Afghan issues, including sharing information regarding potential attacks. But Judd told the Americans "we have not figured out what they are up to," adding that it was clear the Iranians wanted the NATO military force in Afghanistan to slowly "bleed."
- Judd said CSIS had "responded to recent, non-specific intelligence on possible terror operations by 'vigorously harassing' known Hezbollah members in Canada." CSIS felt no attack was in the offing but Hezbollah members and their lawyers were considering using recent court rulings to hamper the work of the intelligence agency.

However releasing documents about banks and other major corporations might be wikileaks downfall as he's now dealing in stolen work papers, something that courts tend to take a really dim view of. One of those banks might end up owning Wikileaks.
