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 suspects should be vetted and protected from unlawful search and seizure, and if found through empirical evidence that they are aligned with a terrorist entity should be tried on a federal level in the country of their birth.
@9LCN8J51yr1Y
No, Foreign terrorists should have amended constitutional rights made specifically for them, but not full constitutional rights.
@9LCL2Z31yr1Y
It says terrorism SUSPECTS. It never said that they were terrorists. Innocent until proven guilty. They have rights until it is proven that they are terrorists.
@9KJXVG7Republican1yr1Y
Although they should not have constitutional rights, there should be certain ethics that should be followed.
@9JGYMLR1yr1Y
Unless there in proof for the suspected person to be involved in terrorist activity, they should be allowed right but be under surveillance.
@9G4PPC5Libertarian2yrs2Y
Yes. Our constitutional rights are rights bestowed upon us just for being sentient semi intelligent beings. Nationality should not restrict those rights
@9D7KC752yrs2Y
no if we have proof of a crime they should be made to vanish off the face of the earth
@9BMFYBG2yrs2Y
with further review on them and limited rights but still treated equal
@9684BRJ3yrs3Y
no but still be fair as a human being
To a degree. They deserve human rights and to be treated with dignity, however, they are still prisoners of war. If the war is over, their role as a prisoner of war is over and they should be tried to the same degree a criminal in the United States should.
@9555CFB3yrs3Y
if they have proved they have earned them
@93SD9JWLibertarian3yrs3Y
If terrorism is based on attacking another human in a manner without CARE for the life of targeted audience they should not be considered.
@92KJYHQ3yrs3Y
No, but give them basic human rights and a fair trial
@92KF5GRRepublican3yrs3Y
I think we should let them in, but make them go through the process of becoming a citizen to make them legal.
@8YCDJ643yrs3Y
like the other questions like this, as long as they are U.S. citizens and aren't convicted of anything, then yes it should be allowed.
@8YBWMJD3yrs3Y
No, if there is enough concrete evidence that they are terrorists they do not deserve those rights.
@8XFCG574yrs4Y
Yes, only if they are registered U.S. citizens
@8RF9CQH4yrs4Y
No, but they should be treated in a humane fashion until proven guilty
@8RCLJ8K4yrs4Y
After a background check and a screening then Yes
@8Q55VNJ4yrs4Y
I think yes, only if their cases are of minor concern to the overall well-being of the country, but more imminent threats should not be handled lightly.
@8NXGLS25yrs5Y
They're not our citizens so don't waste US money on non US citizens and it should be proven if they are a terrorist. Due process should be universal
@8NCT3595yrs5Y
More information must be gathered, innocent until proven guilty as they say
Yes, if they are in our country legally, they should receive a fair trial.
@8LCMSY45yrs5Y
No say within the subject
@8L384F75yrs5Y
yes as long as they have a background check
@8KZTMWL5yrs5Y
No, but should be given basic human rights. I don't believe in torture.
@8HFG35Q5yrs5Y
yes , but not all the rights only limited since there suspected terrorism
@8DTP6QV5yrs5Y
Yes, but not bail. They should be held until trial.
@8D3JQXR5yrs5Y
i dont have a formed opinion
@8CVNMS25yrs5Y
i don't think this affects me
@8CGW8KB5yrs5Y
No, but their rights as humans should still be respected.
@9C4YNRT2yrs2Y
If there is a large sum of evidence then no, but basic human rights still apply. However, if there is not enough evidence and this is merely unfounded suspicions then I believe they should.
@9943MR32yrs2Y
I feel that foreign terrorists should be charged with what they did. But I feel as if the charge shall come from the country that the crime was committed and follow the laws of that country. But housing a prisoner in the American prison system is not a problem.
@98SKZLYIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, but they should be tried by a panel of experts and those educated in terrorism, but still have the opportunity to have a fair trial
@98RCMRM2yrs2Y
If we wrote the constitution believing it as the universal rights of humans, then those rights are already given to them.
@96TLQCG3yrs3Y
they should be killed or torted
@8XPHHPHIndependent3yrs3Y
If given a throw ground check
@8NNR9KZRepublican5yrs5Y
should have an extensive background check
@8MW4LW55yrs5Y
No, it would be best to have school law enforcement to handle any issues involving the use of guns.
Depending on what crimes were committed, yes.
