and as i said, those that are not u.s. citizens should fall under the geneva convention, but not the constitution. after all, our citizens convicted in foreign countries are not under the us constitution, so foreign nationals have no argument that they should be here. also, the geneva convention is supposedly for prisoners of war...that is where the bush admin tries to get slippery, they call this a war, but don't want to call the people they are fighting soldiers, they want to call them terrorists. can't have it both ways.

absolutely our citizens should have constitutional rights!

I also agree that our citizens should have constitutional rights.
So much blood has been shed to protect and preserve them.
Somerfrost quoted this: There is a price to pay for freedom and if we as individuals become unwilling to pay that price, our children will never know what it was like to live in a free society!
Unfortunately, that defines the current situation.
Do we compromise liberty and justice to those that exploit collective fear for a slim assurance of security? Are there other agendas that remain untold?
Of course, every day we send our children to school where they recite a pledge that states "with liberty and justice for all". If those words are empty due to current policies, then it can be surmised that there is no liberty, no justice, and alas, no freedom.
Our children deserve better.
