Does anybody know what legal jurisdiction the U.S. government is operating under?

How about, does anybody know what legal jurisdiction the U.S. government is operating under, with regard to international law, the U.N. charter and the Nuremberg principles, having invaded a sovereign country; and how the U.N. can continue to have any legitimacy under these circumstances? Or better yet, why the rest of the world continues to even bother atttending, when the EU has infinitely more integrity and trust as a world body?

Inventagod, while your at it lets put Hilary and Bill Clinton up there as well. Seems they have done enough to undermine American interests and have killed enough people as well.

The United State should allow the UN representative to inspect its prisons for torture at any reasonable time it chooses to do so. That the Red Cross is allowed to inspect for torture is not sufficient grounds to refuse the UN inspections! The fact that the effort to pass an anti-torture bill was vetoed by this administration is all the more reasons for allowing more inspectors.

Hey Steve, J. Edgar Hoover wore women''''s underwear. Did he do any less of a job busting the Mafia and KKK?

If we want angels for prosecutors then we''''ll be buried in our eyeballs in crime.

When we find out that they have committed a crime themselves, then we prosecute them too.

Bush may be prosecuted someday.

Nancy,
You do realize that J. Edgar Hoover was a totalitarian personality. He controlled everything and everyone. He believed in and consistently used wiretapping to gather evidence against criminals and political adversaries. He was also known to use information he gathered for blackmail.. Just wanted to make sure you knew a little more about your ''example''.

Again, You Bush bashers don''t read the whole article and only pick and choose 1 part of it to start your rants. We are NOT hiding ANYTHING! The article clearly states that we allow the international red cross foundation into the US run prisons to do exactly what Nowak wants to do. Frankly, I don''t see what he hopes to accomplish. I certainly think that the Red Cross is credible enough to report on the state of affairs in these camps.
