Because they are being tried by our government...and anything the government can do to foreigners makes it easier to do to us...btw, Padilla is an American.Then why are they defending foreign citizens who are being tried as terrorists?
It could also be because many Americans take "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" literally to mean the constitution covers anyone within the jurisdiction of the USA.
Unless of course they are Conservatives, Tea party members, Bush, Karl Rove or any member of Bush's Government. Or any other group Liberals decide are not worthy of protection under the law, Like Bankers and such, you do remember the scare tactics employed by the left against AIG executives right?
exactly!
