and the idea that US law supercedes international law or even the law of whichever country the "enemy combatants" happen to be in.
I was wondering about this: just which country would hand over its sovereignity to the US? I mean, yes, the US govt thinks it can supercede the laws of other countries but what is the reality like in other parts of the world?
I know that no govt here would let the US do something like that on Indian soil, at least not until US invades and takes over the country. Any other scenario would just mean mass protests, riots, the Supreme Court striking down the treaty, and possibly lynching of the people who thought this was a good idea.
