UN Bans State Abductions - U.S. Won't Support

The UN plans to ban the practice by states in abducting individuals:

The General Assembly adopted a treaty Wednesday that would ban nations from abducting perceived enemies and hiding them in secret prisons or killing them.

The United Nations received reports of about 535 disappearances last year, many of them in Colombia, Nepal and the breakaway Russian republic of Chechnya.

Should we be surprised that the Bush gang, which doesn't respect any international law, is planning to vote the proposal down. These are the same people that believe torture is not really torture.
