You have some strange inablity to see that our republic was based on the idea of persons everywhere having inalienable rights. - Those same 'persons', legally in US jurisdiction, are fully protected by our constitution.

Illegal aliens are dealt with by various US Codes, -- again, -- under constitutional law, - depending on the criminality of their 'illegal' status. Thus, - terrorists can be dealt with by military tribunals.

Why you seem to be having such a problem with such simple concepts is best left to mental health experts, imo.

More of your falsely accusatory flailing nonsense. We all have unalienable rights.

You just can't see that the issue is - who gets the privilege of having those rights protected by our system and the costs taxpayers incurr for some of those protections. Who gets a free lawyer and who doesn't? Who can and cannot expect to have their hard drive searched only with a warrant. Mr. Moussaoui's "private" things are fair game, and he can be held indefinitly. He's not getting a speedy trial, and therefore is not covered by the Bill of Rights.

You're trying to cloud the issue by saying what is happening to him is "constitutional". Of course it's constitutional, you loon. What the issue here is: Is it in accordance with the Bill of Rights, and should it be? The answer to that is a resounding NO, which makes me right, and you and Barr wrong.
