I believe that these ILLEGAL combatants would have no protection under the US Constitution even if they were physically located within the territory of the United States.

I think the reason they are held outside the Unteid States is for their own good. Most Americans would want tear them limb from limb if given half a chance.

German prisoners were held without trial during WWII.

Our enemies are offended that we will not let our enemies use the protections of our legal system in their attempts to destroy us.
