You're right, timalkin, that the UN has screwed up on a number of occasions, thus earning healthy skepticism, I'll be the first to admit that... but when the US signs to something like the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, it becomes US law. That's how these things work. If we didn't want to live by their rules, we shouldn't have signed the convention. It's US law now and legally has to be enforced, just like the Geneva Conventions and all other US treaties and agreements.
