Who gives the moral authority to kidnap and torture in the name of anti-terrorism?

Question

In the United States you have the Secret Service who have been accused of numerous crimes against humanity.

Who has given them the right and power to operate outside the rule of Law?

Answer 1

The Secret Service are an arm of the US government.
The head of the US government is George W Bush.
George W Bush was voted in by the American people.
So to answer your question concisely: the American people are responsible for the numerous atrocities against humanity, for not doing their homework on George W., and for allowing him to hoodwink them into thinking he would make a good president.
Not once. But TWICE.

Answer 2

It's all relative - and it depends on who is on your side (or at least which countries benefit more for not being against you.) As long as you are the "popular" country, then the "crimes" that you commit are not crimes, it is "anti-terrorism" (or something of the like).

That is why there is such an ongoing conflict in Israel. The Palestinians kill Israelis, Israelis retaliate by killing Palestinians and vice versa - but the world is split on who's side to take. If the power houses of the world were to back one over the other, then the conflict would be easier to end - because then there would be a consensus of who is "right" and who is "wrong".

Answer 3

undesirable human beings win whilst good human beings sit down with tips from and don't something. because of the fact the previous guy stated, who else might or no longer that's? perchance Iran, oh Saddam whilst he replaced into in power, Korea... how approximately we sit down with tips from and no no longer something and allow Darfur play itself out? What might have happened if we had sat returned and allow Nazi Germany and Hitler take over each and every thing? might there be Jews interior the international on the instant, probable no longer. The UN can't even enforce their very own resolutions. the international thumbs their nostril on the UN, and the UN purely shakes their palms and does no longer something. like it or no longer, united states of america of america is the shining city on the hill. It replaced into based on the straight forward theory that each and all and sundry human beings must be loose and allowed to stay as they choose. think of for a minute, if we sat returned and allow the international fall apart around us.

The only proof of torture and murder was preformed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi when he decapitated Nick Berg and put it on the web,al-Tawhid wal-Jihad has claimed responsibility for at least seven other executions of hostages, including Korean translator Kim Sun-il, Bulgarian truck drivers Georgi Lazov and Ivaylo Kepov, and the American contractors, Hensley and Armstrong.

It claimed to have murdered an Arab holding US citizenship and captured a US marine of Lebanese origin. It kidnapped 12 Nepalese workers and then executed them.. Moral authority.. Give me a break

Answer 5

No one. Any country that routinely uses kidnapping or torture as a means of self-defense immediately loses its moral authority right there.

To fight terrorism, we must follow the rule of Law to maintain the moral authority to legitimately oppose terrorist cells and terrorist actions without provoking further hatred and creating more terrorists.

Answer 6

When you have SPECIFIC names dates and numbers of genocide victims, then we'll talk. Other than that you have the right to remain in the dark about how Government works. Secret Service protect the President. The CIA is in charge of kidnapping and torture. Get it right, or get going!

Answer 9

It's the CIA, not the Secret Service, who do the dirty deeds, and the orders come from Mr. Immoral Authority himself, G.W. "I Can Do Anything I Want" Bush!

Answer 10

you don't really want to know..otherwise they'll torture you and they'll say you were a terrorist... it is f*cked up.. i know.. but that's the way it is... I wonder who would stop the US if they ever decide to invade some other country.. they're the ones in charge of the disarming of all the "dangerous" countries...
