In war, people who aren't fighting it make trite allusions to the fact that war is currently being waged to justify the wholesale abandonment of their values. Because, why, I mean, WAR!!!!!!!!
That's dumb. Judicial rule doesn't exist in nature either, we choose to impose it because it makes sense to do so in a civilized society that cares about the rights of human beings, regardless of what they may or may not have done. The fact that we are at war is irrelevant.
Who's laughing at us, Ace? Have you been asking around at the supermarket again?
