Bonsoir,

The Mullah Omar thread is the definite place to discuss the French and US approaches to both constitutional and international law. We also might also find some Sharia law to comment in the process.

David and I have used this thread more to report UK and US legal developments in the "small wars area" - without getting into too much editorializing (except for me at times ).

I'll post something there tonite setting out the basic framework of US law. Without understanding that, it is not possible to understand where international law fits into that framework.

Merci

Mike
