It usually makes me burst with laughter today when I hear somebody refering to laws, treaties and rules when wanting to make an argument in favour of any treaty, or trying to defend any regulation or status quo. "It is written in the law", "Our country is based on this principle written in the constitution", "The xth amendement says", "That court has ruled", "This attorney said", "That high ranking party-politician said" - it is naive beyond any reasonability to trust in this kind of authority-believing thinking anymore.

I claim that political business today is more busy with bypassing rules, than with making sure to follow them. And that is true for Europe AND the United States for sure.

And the intel community? Plays its own games anyway, like always.
