Reply #25: The Question on the UN Charter came up..

[radio4progressives]

on the specific point of the UN Charter's policy as it relates to what Dershwotiz is proposing..

Dershowtiz said specifically, that what he proposes is not cofidied in the UN Charters, and because that is so, new revisions are being drafted right now in order to fit the scheme which Dershowtiz is promulgating. I wasn't clear on whether or not Dershowitz is directly working on those new provisions - but clearly he's working with those who are.

I listened to Dershowitiz's rationalizations and reasoning.. on the face of it, it seems like a rational approach. But one knows it is easy to abuse and it comes with many caveats and I suggest that the existing charters is the only policy we should be abiding by, not this new range of conditions which is a clear Neo Con agenda, and just like I strongly disagree with all of Dershowtiz's foreign policy ideas that I've ever heard him express, including the legitimization of torture through legislation and possible Constitutional authority, I oppose it on it's face.
