In 2002, the George W. Bush administration issued the Torture Memos which argued for a narrow definition of torture under U.S. law. They included granting the CIA authority to use “enhanced interrogation techniques” on enemy combatants. The techniques included waterboarding subjection to extreme cold and confinement in small boxes.

Are the supposed terrorists committing these acts on US soil? If so, the constitution already provides them rights and they are subject to the laws. Already decreed by the US Supreme Court.
@9GTFMB21yr1Y
They schools be given rights as a human but not all constitutional rights after communing terrorism on the country
@9DYQVLL2yrs2Y
They should make sure that they are suspects and not just assuming
@9DF3ZT52yrs2Y
Yes, as should all human beings
@9DC7S5Y2yrs2Y
I don't really have an opinion on this as I feel it is a small issue compared to a lot of problems facing citizens.
@9BRWB84Independent2yrs2Y
I will really have to think about this more
@92PR8XC3yrs3Y
No they should be tried in military court.
@8ZZCK343yrs3Y
If they are given a background check before then yes
@8YPBMXL3yrs3Y
Yes, but must strive their way to becoming a U.S citizen to give the fair trial as any other U.S citizen.
@8XD665Q3yrs3Y
yes, because they shouldn't be tortured
@8JCYB94Republican4yrs4Y
In extreme cases torture should be allowed
@8DGC4LL4yrs4Y
They are led to believe what they are doing is right, most likely due to having been forced to only accept minimal points of teaching. They do not know any better. But that does not make evil acts any less evil. Try them in a fair court of law that will see them as a whole, a person. A person with flaws that knows only how to be who they are, nothing more, and nothing less. They can't know to do anything different if they aren't taught.
@8CG65VZ5yrs5Y
Depending on the accusations, torture may be acceptable if critical info is being withheld. Trials stay within the military or federal courts after that.
@9B7PBKK2yrs2Y
They should be treated fairly and as people, following the rules of the international declaration of the rights of all people.
@99YCYFW2yrs2Y
They should be tried with due process with the rules of NATO.
@98TTKG32yrs2Y
It depends on if they have been caught doing some suspicious things or if you’re just biased
@96YTZQCIndependent2yrs2Y
If they are on US soil then yes, I feel as though they have a right to a trial just like anyone else in the country.
The suspect is not commenting on the act. Without good evidence then they cannot take either rights.
