In 2002, the George W. Bush administration issued the Torture Memos which argued for a narrow definition of torture under U.S. law. They included granting the CIA authority to use “enhanced interrogation techniques” on enemy combatants. The techniques included waterboarding subjection to extreme cold and confinement in small boxes.

The government pays terrorists to make foreigners and their races look bad compared to the US, they especially love to target Middle Eastern (Arab) races.
@9V94QMW8mos8MO
It depends on their citizenship status as well as their alignments, the treatment should be considered lawful under international law.
@9TYNZCC8mos8MO
I believe that terrorists should have the rights given to them by their country during these occurrences.
@9JGY9GP1yr1Y
I think it depends on the situations in some cases they should be given consitituional rights and other times they shouldnt be allowed too depending on the crime
@9FQ4NQ32yrs2Y
Not until they've been interrogated and their origins are confirmed.
they should be given a fair trial unless it is proven for sure that they are terrorizing the country but otherwise they are just suspects and should be give fair trial in federal courts.
@9FL2NDT2yrs2Y
They shouldn't be given rights if they are proven terrorists, but it's not fair to strip the rights of people simply because we believe they might be. Doing that might bring the risks down, but we could also be taking the rights away from innocent people.
@9FJGGG22yrs2Y
Terrorists are not U.S. citizens and therefore do not have constitutional rights, however, victims of Guantanamo Bay who are most likely innocent should be given a trial.
@9DH8WDN2yrs2Y
Treat them like humans with personal rights, but not with US citizen rights.
@95QSPRJ3yrs3Y
yes, but to what extent can they be trusted with these rights which should be done through a government test/evaluation, possibly with the FBI
@95QL4P43yrs3Y
Kanye is def right on this one
@95Q3DCX3yrs3Y
They should be given rights but be put somewhere like a prison
@95PMW353yrs3Y
No, technically they aren't US citizens and don't have the same "rights" as us. However I think we should still retain basic due processes and abide by the constitution as much as possible.
@95NJHKP3yrs3Y
Yes they should because you can't GIVE someone rights, you can only take them away.
@95NJ3RD3yrs3Y
Give them the right to a fair trial to determine their interests
@947DWK43yrs3Y
Unless there is hard evidence towards the suspects they should be given constitutional rights.
@94797NF3yrs3Y
They should be trialed first if they are not 100% sure to be proven terrorist.
@93G9RCY3yrs3Y
If an act of terrorism is instituted in the U.S. then the terrorist should be held to a trial
@93728493yrs3Y
depending on if they attacked or not
@8ZG35P73yrs3Y
No, but they shouldn't be subject to extreme torture.
@8Y2V69N3yrs3Y
They should be given equal chance unless proven guilty
@8XFSK2BRepublican4yrs4Y
Yes, we believe in a system of innocent until proven guilty.
@8VCYM3V4yrs4Y
The same rights a person on death row would be given.
@8V8YDFJ4yrs4Y
If they were not convicted of it and are now us citizens yes
@8TSYBMQ4yrs4Y
Depends on the crime they committed other than that no
@8TRZYLJ4yrs4Y
no, because you going agent the constitution and morals
@8TRZDQB4yrs4Y
No, although they don't have constitutional rights, they should still be treated morally and humanely.
yes, if they were suspects but it was found they were innocent
@8MY8SVK5yrs5Y
Treat them like a human being but since they are not a US citizen it will not be exactly the same I suppose.
@8MS4S7H5yrs5Y
They should be held and striped of their rights until they are proven innocent
@8MPRMFL5yrs5Y
I know what group of people this is aimed towards and I don't think it is right to take away rights to a suspect who didn't do anything and who is an American citizens but the person is just suspicious because if the government knew those people wouldn't be here
@8LTWX8PRepublican5yrs5Y
Not enough information to decide. They should have the right to a fair trial if they are suspected of terrorism, but they probably shouldn't be able to bear arms.
@8LSYYQB5yrs5Y
Yes, give them a fair trial but keep an eye on them.
@8LSTQFSWomen’s Equality5yrs5Y
If they have terrorized the U.S., they should be given constitutional rights, but if they are only being tried in the U.S., they should be tried with the same laws of the country they terrorized.
@8LRKKW35yrs5Y
No, only if the person is truly a terrorist and not just suspected
@8LRF2H85yrs5Y
It depends on whether or not they are or are not a citizen already. If they are, give them their rights, if not, give them a fair trial
@8K6MZS85yrs5Y
yes, after they have been a citizens for 20 years, with no criminal charges or incidents.
@8H3PQSWLibertarian5yrs5Y
Yes, only if they pay taxes
@8F229QH5yrs5Y
Only basic human rights as they are not citizens.
@8D82ZPWIndependent5yrs5Y
No, but through the process they can earn it
@8CV577S5yrs5Y
Investigate them and imprison them if they are undeniably guilty
@9C2FNH92yrs2Y
beep boop boop beep, brrr, abulalabanbabababa, doo doo doo
@99ST9PB2yrs2Y
No, but they should be given humanitarian rights and treatment.
yes, but they should have at least lived in the state or area for 10 years so they can have an idea of things that are going on.
@98TCBY92yrs2Y
They need to be searched before given rights.
@98SWB6R2yrs2Y
If they are tied to terrorism or have information in persons who are known fugitives, they shoukd be apprehended and interrogated. The 8th ammendment applies overseas as long as there a U.S. embassy. Note: Osama Pakistan (NO embassy)
@98QT4PX2yrs2Y
Everyone should have the right to a fair trial, however, we should take precautions if they are to be suspected of these intolerable acts.
Bro im too young for this fr
@9782Q4M3yrs3Y
They should not because they are terrorists that are trying to kill people and destroy stuff.
@8R96G3K4yrs4Y
This is an international human rights issue, not a constitutional rights issue.
@8LSTQ7M5yrs5Y
If they terrorized America, they should get constitutional right, but if they terrorized a different county, their trial should follow those countries laws and rules.
@8L875F85yrs5Y
Yes, only until proven guilty with proof and evidence of terrorism.
@8FT7HJC5yrs5Y
They are not U.S. citizens but they should still hold a fair trial of some sort.
@8X973HXRepublican4yrs4Y
So far i'm taking this quiz because I have too and its apart of my grade. I do not care whatsoever so any of my answers will most likely not be legit.
@9MHJ7JT1yr1Y
Every human has basic civil rights and human rights. You should be limited rights based on national security so they would lose tons of rights in order to prevent them from terrorise again.
@8DYQSXG5yrs5Y
I honestly don't really care for politics
@9FG7SH82yrs2Y
Per the Constitution all men are created equal
