It's WORSE!

THE ACTUAL TEXT, GIVING THE TERRORIST DETAINEES FULL RIGHTS AND PROTECTION OF THE US CONSTITUTION ANYWHERE, EVEN OUTSIDE THE US AND CREATING US LAW BASED ON THE UN.

Hmmmmm. I guess we wait until another US city is attacked by these "non-combatants" while one of their brethren was in custody refusing to divulge what he keow. After all that the public gets to witness another repeat performance of The Singing Barbers on The Capitol's stairs.
