Re: the US has a license to kidnap, secretly jail, and murder

what's to stop the US government from abducting people anywhere on the globe and secretly incarcerating them indefintely or secretly killing them?
first, there was the rendition program, that in practice is tantamount to kidnapping by US government.
then, there was the enemy combatant status given to US citizens on US soil, US citizens on foreign soil, and foreigners on a foreign soil. the US government has argued, successfully thus far, that this permits it to hold people indefintiely without access to courts.
is anyone safe?
if someone dissapears anywhere, how would someone know that it wasn't the US gov't behind the dissappearance because as i undertstand it, the detention could be indefinite and could be kept secret. doesn't this bother or anger anyone else? |
Um...and other countries can't do this why?
