The Newest Bush League Doctrine

If we can do it, we will - no matter the later consequences that we do not consider or pretend do not exist.

The End of International Law?




by Robert Dreyfuss




A parallel new Bush doctrine is emerging, in the last days of the
soon-to-be-ancien regime, and it needs to be strangled in its crib.
Like the original Bush doctrine -- the one that Sarah Palin couldn't
name, which called for preventive military action against emerging
threats -- this one also casts international law aside by insisting
that the United States has an inherent right to cross international
borders in "hot pursuit" of anyone it doesn't like.
