dc.description.abstractDespite the lip service that the Bush-Cheney administration has paid to the notion of a rule of law - claiming, for example, that countries around the world should embrace and respect the rule of law in their internal governance - the record since 9/11 suggests that the Bush-Cheney administration itself in fact decided not to practice what it preached. It can be regarded, therefore, as a "scofflaw" - a person, or in this case a cluster of powerful persons, exhibiting a cavalier disregard for written laws - in this case international laws that the USA played a central role in creating.
