Went to the dictionary to define "rogue".....
It is listed as an adjective - Operating outside normal or desirable controls: “How could a single rogue trader bring down an otherwise profitable and well-regarded institution?” (Saul Hansell)
Here is a newssnip from Yahoo....
Legal Challenges, Terrorism Threaten U.S.
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=542&ncid=693&e=7&u=/ap/20050319/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/pentagon_strategysnip - WASHINGTON - America's strength is being challenged by "a strategy of the weak," a Pentagon (news - web sites) document says, listing diplomatic and legal challenges in international forums in the same sentence with terrorism.
snip - "Our strength as a nation state will continue to be challenged by those who employ a strategy of the weak focusing on international fora, judicial processes and terrorism," it says. It does not go into detail.
Asked about the statement, Douglas Feith, the No. 3 official at the Pentagon, said during a news conference, "There are various actors around the world that are looking to either attack or constrain the United States, and they are going to find creative ways of doing that, that are not the obvious conventional military attacks."
snip - Feith, the outgoing undersecretary of defense for policy, denied the reference would include a detainee at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, suing the U.S. government for his freedom. He said it was meant to note "the arguments that some people make to try to, in effect, criminalize foreign policy and bring prosecutions where there is no proper basis for jurisdiction under international law as a way of trying to pressure American officials."
So - any attempt to constrain the might of the USA is seen as an attack - just as bad as terrorism....even if there is legal precident. That is my take on this. Might=right. Laws be damned.
What a sad day.....comments anyone?
