Well, if the Bill of Rights is, as I believe, an enumeration of our natural rights then, philosophically, they do apply to everyone. That is not to say that we mustn't apprehend and prosecute those who would themselves violate rights, such as the Al Queda terrorists. Of course we should.

Few rights in the Bill of Rights are unalienable.
Even life and liberty can be deprived, if due process of law is adhered to, as it says in the 5th Amendment.
