I think you guys need to all reassess, in that you are all foreigners in this land. We really have no right to be here, almost all this land was stolen from the indigeneous American Indians.
The constitution is to protect all people in this land. At one time, Black slaves were not considered citizens, nor were American Indians, and they were denied the rights of the Constitution, but these rulings have long since been overturned. I'm not calling suspected terrorists citizens, but as persons who may have found there way into this country, they have certain unalienable rights. After all, they are innocent until proven guilty, no matter how strongly some of the people on this BBS feel. To think these people don't have certain rights (i.e. right to a trial by jury, etc) is downright unconstitutional and unpatriotic, not to mention inhumane.
John Hancock, Sam Adams, Paul Revere, John Adams, Thomas Paine, et al. were probably viewed as "terrorists" in their time by British (who were the ruling government) conterparts... today they are national heroes.
