Clearly the US is quite prepared to abuse the concept of justice to the degree necessary to get him. the US would undoubtedly be happy to lock him up in some american monte cristo and throw away the key.
The longer and more dramatically he keeps himself in the news, the more uproar there would be if he was eventually tried. The better the odds that US would feel constrained to how to take its revenge upon him.
