A Global Enemy Requires Global Allies

Dan Rather sad down to interview Alberto Mora, the former U.S. Navy General Counsel.  He has some very pronounced things to say regarding the war on terror:

• Human dignity as an American value is emphasized in the 5th, 8th an 14th Amendment.
• Fighting a global war on terror requires a global coalition of US allies to collect intelligence, lobby governments, assist in battle and monitor the outcomes.
• These allies have been reluctant to participate in this coalition because our position on terror conflicts with their domestic and international laws/ideology.

The interview presents only one side of the argument; but in the long-run it makes the most sense.
