Absolutely! If there is any axiom concerning "rights" it is that rights exist only as long as there is the power to back and protect them. Right now, we have that power.
When we no longer have the power to back our rights they will fade with the wind.
I totally agree. Power backs up any and all laws. The geneva convention was ratified by the U.N, and U.S action has obviously breached that convention. However because the U.S is the superpower it can break any law that it wants to. The problem is that no nation can "Top Dog "forever. So this action has really set a dangerous precedence that could possibly cause the cruel and needless deaths of many Americans in the future. I mean why torture and kill these terriorists and get bad press, when it can be done legally?
