It seems as if we are not totally supportive of the Bush Administration, then we are aiding and abetting them.

To Scarlet: Those protections apply to " All persons".

Sgoldpers, this is an interesting point. I think it applies to " All persons" under US Jurisdiction.
Otherwise the Guantanamo prisoners would not have standing to bring their case before the court.

It is the interpretation of the Constitution by some that is helping the Enemies of America. The rights allowed to citizens, legal residents and visitors should not be extended to the enemy.

Guilt trip tactics aren't going to work pal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuPiwm9IjiA .People don't buy the old "if you don't agree with Bush then your for the enemy" routine.
This is a guilt trip tactic used to guilt trip people into line. It's used by Bush and the boys as a key tactic to keep those against Bush and terror silent.
In fact it was first used and perfected by the Nazi's. In fact look at the quote below, you'll notice it sounds just like you
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
FOLKS click on this link to see how people aren't buying this old "guilt trip" tactic.

The Constitution doesn't apply to "all people" by anyone who understands it clearly. It is a document of this country, so it applies to people from and in this country. Now even if you drop those amendments you will have the problems of the Geneva Convention proably getting in the way, although I don't know it well enough to get into where all the arguements would be caused.

Sure, if you want to throw out much of what this country was founded up, go ahead and try to repeal the 5th and 6th Amendments.
Just be prepared for armed revolt if you succeed.

Yes, you are correct.
You care too much about the terrorists.
They know that? It is encouraging them.

If we do away with our freedoms, then Bush and the terrorists have won.
