The Bill of Rights tells the GOVERNMENT, I'll repeat that, the GOVERNMENT what not to do to certain people.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise by certain people thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech of certain people, or of the press; or the right of the certain people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

So are you agreeing that the Constitution does not cover ALL people within our borders, but only "certain" people... namely citizens? Since they DID toss those Chinese, I gotta believe that the government did acquire the power to do so.

Atta's Jihad, does the first amendment really prevent our government from stopping free speech in other nations? No. Congress can pass a law to disrupt Chinese communications without infringing on their First Amendment rights, because even though they're people, they have no rights protected by our first amendment from our government. This is beside the issue though. You're so out to lunch. Have you seen any Chinese reporters near where you are?
