can there be (outside of extreme circumstances) cases where one can say kidnapping of foreign nationals is acceptable behaviour by a nation who regards it own civil law as superseding that of other nations?

Yup, absolutely. Nazi war criminals being the obvious example, when they were in a country that was harbouring them and preventing them from being brought to justice, snatching them was perfectly justifiable as far as I'm concerned. Not sure if I'd advocate the same kind of thing for fraudsters, although the fact that such was the example quoted, and not a murderer, does tend to point out that the law is often more concerned with going after people who commit big money crimes rather than people who knock a few fellow humans off.
