Of course Conyers doesn't really care about the civil rights of terrorists, this is just the usual non issue to undermine confidence in President Bush that this despicable man is best at.
The framers did not intend that the rights and privileges of our constitution extend to non citizens. Human rights are for everyone, but the rights he is speaking of for criminal trials etc. are clearly meant for citizens.
This is war, therefore military trials seem to be the appropriate venue for war criminals.
I suppose the partisan hack wants to defend the terrorists, correct?

What about someone who is married to a U.S. citizen and has children here, and pays taxes here, but maintains citizenship in a strange alien place like the U.K. for instance. Does she get rights at trial or do you just take her out and shoot her because she is a noncitizen.

There is absolutely no excuse for proposing not to give due process to anyone. That may not mean letting suspected terrorists out on the street on bail. But when due process is denied to anyone there is a very high probability due process can be denied to you some day.
