Were the Indians given these same rights?
I'm too sensitive to have any input on this
Depends on where they were apprehended and under what circumstances.
1. If apprehended not on US Soil during a named Military Campaign, then they should be held as Prisoners of War under the Geneva Convention and released upon ending the war.
2. If apprehended not on US Soil with the foreign Government's approval, they should be tried under the laws of the Country they were apprehended unless extradition applies. Then they should be tried under US Law.
3. If apprehended on US Soil, they are subject to US Laws and should be tried according to the US Laws, but treated humanely and given constitutional rights.
No, they are technically not U.S. citizens but they should be given a fair trial.
Yes, Bad Question, The constitution doesn’t “give” rights it restricts government. So the government can’t break their laws because someone’s a terrorist
no because they are not citizens but basic human rights should be respected and acknowledged
Yes but after they have gone through a background check and are in due process of citizenship. But no because they are not a citizen.
They shouldn't be granted the same rights as an American citizen, but they should at least be granted their basic human rights.
They should be tried under UN judiciary standards. They are not US citizens and therefore are not protected under the constitution
No opinion, for I don't have the info or knowledge of first hand terrorists
I feel they should be tried and be innocent until proven guilty.
No, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights, but they have human rights that must be honored.
I really depends on the circumstance.
Unless they are caught on U.S. soil than try them in a court of law, if on the battlefield than try them in military tribunals
Do a background check or invisagate.
Suspects or terrorists? The question changes
everyone deserves a fair trial
No, they should just be deported back to their country of origin
No, they're not US citizens and do not have US constitutional right but do deserve a fair trial
They should be given constitutional rights until proven to be terrorists or aiding terrorists.
I think they should have constituional rights
no they should have a background search conducted to see if they should be able to
Adhere to the Geneva Conventions
Terrorism (violence), in any form, in any country, under any circumstances, is unacceptable and should be condemned. No religion, ideal or manifesto should be able to be utilized as a crutch to justify violence against another human being.
Yes, until proven guilty, they are free people
I think they should be shot and dumped in the ocean like Osama
I need to be better educated on this topic.
Should be given basic human rights, but not US citizenship until tried.
Constitution does state everyone is created equal. But if they are 100% guilty of being a terrorist then strip them from all their rights.
Yes, if they are tried on US soil.
It is not a blanket statement. Some are extended to everyone in the world, some are not.
Yes, and they should be tried in military tribunals but not subject to torture
No. But they should be given human rights and treated in a way in accordance with UN convention.
yes but only if they are innocent
They are no citizens, second if the court finds them guilty they still get no rights
They should be subject to imprisonment until a fair trial and treated humanely and in accordance with the Geneva Convention as POWs until the trial and subsequent punishment.
I need to look further into this
Yes, but only after they've been interrogated
As they are not citizens, so maybe not all rights are applied, but they still deserve basic human rights.
I believe everyone deserves a fair trial but if anything they should be more cautions
Yes, but mostly so we can try to get whatever information out of them. If they even choose comply under our laws, which they might not.
Portions of the Constitution are only applicable to citizens, legally. However, the reason those rights are afforded to our citizens is because they are the right and equitable thing to do and we should do them, regardless of citizenship
If captured on US soil yes, if not no.
Yes, give them a fair trial as you would some American citizens.
Not constitutional rights, however they deserve basic human rights.
they should be given limited rights since they are not a US citizens.
Only if there is proof and they are not suspects
yes unless there is a confirmed case of terroism
