We will not, and cannot allow that, no matter what the Pope says.

When the message is read, we find:
In the necessary fight against terrorism, international law is now called to develop legal instruments provided with effective means for the prevention, monitoring and suppression of crime. In any event, democratic governments know well that the use of force against terrorists cannot justify a renunciation of the principles of the rule of law.

I'd rather emphasize the following:

"International law" is fuzzy nothingness. And, besides, it's the United States that has to enforce this "international law" when the bad guys get out of control.

And terrorism is not crime. It's war!
