Despite what some folks claim, the three letter agencies don't break the law. They have lawyers and general council, and bend over backwards not to do anything illegal. This is not to say that the law is always sensible, moral, or interpreted the way an average individual might interpret the law.

I'd like to see the US law that states that it's legal for US citizens to kidnap people abroad and torture them for months in secret prisons.

Broadly, the law doesn't work by allowing things.

Imagine if the police could walk up to you in any situation and demand that you prove the legality of any part of whatever it is that you are (or are not) doing.
