when it mattered. So around 1900.

Der Amerikaner ist die Orchidee unter den Menschen
Volker Pispers

If a state wishes to act against an individual, or organisation of Individuals, then they have an Obligation to prove their alegations. Otherwise, if a state isn't willing  to prove its case, then It's Murder Plain and simple. Last time I checked Al-Quaida wasn't a country so appealing to International relations dosn't cut it as a reason. as for American Independence, how does this remove American Independence, and why should US law extend to other countries without them being willing to show a proper range of evidence to obtain extradition?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Here. Here it is:

Like law matters an ounce in international relations!

The core of the matter. Might makes right.

On this basis, terrorism, genocide and anything the fuck else you like is legal.

Insanity consists of doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results.

Vicious idiots and arrogant fools.

t! Like al-Qaida wouldn't fight to the death against anyone who tried to arrest them!

So they die. At least "we" would have  tried to do it right. Instead "we" decided to play their game, legitimising their rules, legitimising them as a worthy opponent of the "West".

Like you could turn over evidence without compromising vast amounts of intelligence!

What's it for if you can't use it?
