And don't give me that crap about them not being American citizens and therefore not being worthy of constitutional rights. The founding fathers did not construct the Bill of Rights because they thought that only Americans should be given those rights. I believe the wording was "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". "all men" includes those who are accused of being terrorists.

FYI: They aren't US citizens, so they don't fall under US beliefs and structures
