Terrorists have no rights where the eighth amendment to the Constitution is concerned, as they are not US Citizens.

Now with that said, there needs to be care by our agents in CIA not to violate the Geneva Convention on interrogation and torture. I do not believe they did that, because all that was done was submitted to attorney’s familiar with international law, and approved.

Stop playing the Democrat playbook, just because you are a Ted Cruz supporter. If we allow a right ‘charismatic’ person to do as he pleases or jump when he speaks in his/her defense, without holding that person to a conservative standard that upholds the right’s beliefs, then we are no better than those who elected Obama.
I like Cruz, but he is not the infallible one.

Obama and the Dems, who think giving the ‘Miranda rights’ to non citizens and prosecuting them as citizens, are playing games with our nations laws and creating a Constitutional Crisis to destabilize our nation.

NO TERRORIST FROM A FOREIGN NATION HAS ANY RIGHT TO THE US CONSITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS....They do, however, have the rights to the Geneva Convention protections. I do not believe our interrogations violated those.

If terrorists have rights in the Geneva Convention(s), then why even have them? I thought the point of the Conventions was to give men reasons to “behave” in wartime treatment of other armies, civilians and prisoners. There is problem if we treat terrorists like POWs, which is part of what the left is trying to do.
