- The Law and War ; Checks and Balances Series: This Is the Third in a Weeklong Series On the Law and War On Terrorism.
This is the third in a weeklong series on the law and war on terrorism. Of all the objections to treating the war on terror as an armed conflict, rather than a criminal justice matter, the most credible involve the potential abuse of power. If the laws of war apply, then governmental power, especially the president's, expands with, some complain, little limitation.

Many scholars have discussed the binding authority of customary international law, but there has yet to be a thorough exegesis of the anti-torture norm in the specific context of War on Terror detainees.

Rumsfeld on behalf of detainees who were allegedly held and abused in Afghanistan and Iraq.9 The four Afghanistan detainees-Mehboob Ahmad, Said Nabi Siddiqi, Mohammed Karim Shirullah, and Haji Abdul Rahman-assert claims of torture that are brutal in their honesty and shocking in the...
