I don't believe it would be beyond them - nor other states - to do so.

It must be true, I heard it on the BBC...

There's no need for attempts at sarcasm - though your lack of use of capitalization in certain regards is telling.
I'm disappointed. You obviously haven't heard of Tamara Lalli - one of many journalists lucky enough only to have been detained / kidnapped (as opposed to killed) by Israel in their unending quest for impartial journalism.
I find it rather surprising, whatever the fate / circumstance of Mr Johnston and who has detained him, that you seem to think only of what you refer to as "more balanced" reporting of events in the region as a possible result of his current predicament.
Somewhat at odds with your last public expressions on kidnap. I should point out that Mr Johnston, like any of the 15 kidnapped by Iran, is a British national doing his job, whether you agree with it or not.
Do you endorse the kidnap of journalists as a justifiable means to address a perceived imbalance in reporting?
That's how your initial post reads.
