A torturer's charter

Secret documents show that US interrogators are above the law

The Guardian
On the stage of a London theatre on Thursday night, a lawyer held up
an official US document, classified by Donald Rumsfeld as "secret" and
"not for foreign eyes". Considering its contents, the document has
attracted remarkably little attention here since it was leaked this
week to the US media. Its significance was raised by Clive
Stafford-Smith, director of the US-based group Justice in Exile, at
the end of a performance of Guantánamo, the Tricycle Theatre's moving
indictment of how the US rounded up detainees - or "unlawful
combatants", as it calls them - and sent them to the US base in Cuba.

Now why should Yanks want to respect international Law.
Perhaps you do need an other 11/09/2001. (to make you think globally)
