Yes...on September 15, 2001 both houses of Congress passed a Joint Resolution authorizing the use of military force under the War Powers Act of 1973;Originally posted by thop
btw. was war officialy declared?
Since the government of Yemen, and many other countries in the region, are fully supporting US actions against terrorists within their borders it's perfectly legal under both US and international law.Section 2. Authorization for Use of United States Armed Forces
(a) That the president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
You wouldn't believe how many muslim countries in both the African horn and the middle east our special forces are in right now.

This, IMHO, is why terrorizing the terrorists is not only pure justice but immensely satisfying

This is a case of not orginally reading techie posts correctly and then missing "take" out of the orginal sentance. Doh. Nothing to do with farting dodgy keyboard I blameLast edited by The PIT; 5 November 2002, 13:33.Comment

Back on subject, there seems to be reports that the car was so badly destroyed owing to a significant secondary explosion. I wonder what they were transporting...Comment

Yup - when I initially saw the news people saying that there were traces of explosive found in the wreckage I thought "well, duh!" until they clarified...
