The problem I have is the fact that so many people seem to want to extend Consitutional Rights to foriegn nationals. I don't think that the framers of our Constitution were thinking of British soldiers rights when they wrote it. The Consitution DOES NOT apply to those who are not citizens. As for these individuals who are citizens of the United States and are being apprehended for conspiring to commit terrorism, we are not violating their rights if we hold them without charges. The fifth amendment clearly states that due process does not apply in Military matters. I feel that if there is sufficient proof that these people are "combatants" then they fall under military jurisdiction and the rights of due process does not apply.

The fifth amendment clearly states that due process does not apply in Military matters. EVERY CRIME can be construed as a "military matter" in a police state. Forget even Crime, Its now Pre-Crime,Incase you MIGHT be a criminal. Be VERY careful what you wish for!
