Quote:How many times do i need to link it? they don't qualify for the criminal prosecution you want them to be covered under because the crime they're committing is on foreign soil and are being detained by our military.

 

there has been some debate if citizens born in the United States that are detained on foreign soils are covered under the constitution
but that's not even the case with the Gitmo prisoners. There's literately no case on any ground for the Gitmo prisoners to be afforded constitutional rights afforded to individuals on US soil or citizens of the United States. I don't know how that can be made more clear to you.

There have been a few instinces of this. There have been a few American men who have converted to Islam and joined the fight against The United States(that I can recall)...There was some debate about sending them to Gitmo as an enemy combatant or if they should be held and prosecuted for Treason...I'm really not sure how it has turned out or if even been decided what to do with them yet...I do believe one was held as an enemy combatant but ONLY because he renounced his American citizenship...I'm still not sure if that has even been decided yet either because he has no citizenship anywhere else so his renouncing of his citizenship may have been rejected...Everyone has to be from somewhere, you can't just be from nowhere
