i keep it real.Okay, thank you for what sounds like an honest answer.

I'm not taking a side in this discussion, but can you explain this statement a bit more?
If you have inherent rights given by God, not by simply being an American, why does "hajji" not have the same inherent rights, even if he is from another country? If you say, "Because he doesn't believe in God, he believes in Allah (or Muhammad, whomever)," doesn't hajji still have those rights, even if he believes that they were bestowed on him by another god?
Not looking for a fight, just want to understand exactly what you are writing.
I think that you are mixing up what I was asking about. I am not asking about "hajji's" rights in his own home country. I was asking that if he is caught in battle and we become responsible for him as a POW or non-combatant POW, his rights from his home country aren't relevant while in our custody, so why does he not have God given rights, even if he doesn't believe in God?hajji, let everyone FROM HIS OWN CREED trample his "god given rights". so if he didnt have the hootspa to secure them then thats his fault. Americas BRAVE HONORABLE Soldiers are making sure that hajji doesnt violate AMERICANS rights. We have the means and the will to protect ours and have and will continue to do so for all time. like my role models THE BEASTY BOYS said: "you gotta fight, for your right, to Paaaaaartey" !!!

BTW, I did my time in the sandbox, afloat and ashore so I do have some first-hand knowledge.
I definitely agree with sending them through the military tribunal, and yes, I would also agree with the death penalty if found guilty. I do not want them anywhere near a civilian court. They chose to fight against our military, they should face our military in court after they have been detained. Or, the CIA seems to have an itchy trigger finger on the stick of their UAVs and we can come to some sort of agreement about an overflight of their house as we have done with some of their compatriots.In my opinion as a non-uniformed enemy combatant, he is excluded from all rights afforded by the geneva conventions. also he does not fall under the jurisdiction of U.S. Constitutional law, so I believe that it is up to a military tribunal to determine his final fate. I am for waterboarding and other extraction techniques to protect americans. After we have all of the info, i think they should be tried for war crimes with the penalty of DEATH if found guilty. again, just my opinion. and thank you for your service!
if you buy the God given rights argument, which i do, then all suspected terrorists just like suspected criminals have all rights.
known terrorists, just like convicted felons, loose some rights. why? b/c they have been proven to violate someone elses rights (the american peoples) and that is where there rights end.
The question is all wrong. The real question is does the United States have an obligation to use all means at its disposal to protect its citizens?
Answer: Yes. Everything else is crap.
out of rep or youd get it
its the thought that counts.

Just asking. Because lots of people think safety is more important than freedom. Or that you can get "safe" by handing over all your powers and liberties to the government.
One can't help but wonder how morally superior everyone will still feel when a bomb goes off in their neighborhood, possibly involving friends and families.
What about such a situation would change the nature of morality? I live just a short drive from Oklahoma City. I'm friends with a lot of first responders to the Murrah bombing. I've never heard any of them advocating a "kill hajji" point of view.
our rights come from god. if you are our enemy, your rights come from america. and they should be few.
