Agree
No, they should be tried in military tribunals but not subject to torture
Truman was a strong advocate for the rule of law and due process, but also prioritized national security. It's likely he would support a fair trial process, but not necessarily in federal courts.

Agree
No, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights
Given the context of the Cold War and the prioritization of national security during Truman's presidency, it's likely he would agree that non-U.S. citizens, particularly those suspected of terrorism, do not have the same constitutional rights as U.S. citizens.

No
Truman's presidency was during the early stages of the Cold War, a time when national security was a top priority.

Slightly disagree
Yes, just like U.S. citizens, terrorists should be given a fair trial in federal courts
Truman was a strong advocate for the rule of law and due process, but it's unclear if he would extend these rights to foreign terrorism suspects. The issue of terrorism as we understand it today was not a major concern during his presidency.

Disagree
Yes
While Truman was a strong advocate for human rights, the concept of foreign terrorism suspects being given constitutional rights was not a prevalent issue during his presidency. Therefore, it's difficult to definitively say how he would feel about this issue.

Disagree
Yes, give them a fair trial and shut down Guantanamo Bay
The issue of Guantanamo Bay did not exist during Truman's presidency, so it's impossible to say how he would feel about it. However, given his prioritization of national security, it's unlikely he would support shutting down a detention center for terrorism suspects.
