So If I read you right sometimes the Constitution applies outside the United States and sometimes it doesn't.
OK then who decides such or where does it say so in the Constitution?
I believe there is extensive federal case law on this matter.
Do you think suspected terrorists being detained in Gitmo are being denied their constitutional rights? Should they be charged and tried or released? They would if held inside the boundaries of the US.
I suspect we are talking past each other to some extent.
