International Law For All Except Al Queda
Amnesty International today concerning Israel:
“Amnesty International urged Israel to abide by international law Thursday”
Amnesty International on the United States:
“There must be full disclosure of all other US “war on terror” detentions, which should be brought into full compliance with international law.”
But nowhere could I find a single reference where Amnesty International encouraged al Queda to follow that part of Geneva Convention (international law) which would mean al Queda detainees would lawfully be covered by the convention:
(a) That of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
(b) That of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;
(c) That of carrying arms openly;
(d) That of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

The U.S. Constitution does not allow for a global government so at most international law is a gentleman’s agreement that Congress can override as they wish since they have the right to declare war; and of course anything short of war.
