Foreign terrorism suspects should not be subject to unusual or cruel punishments; they should be held for a very short time, then be released or tried by an appropriate court (either by the US or the nation in which they were captured). No one should be held in indefinite incarceration with no recourse.

Not if they been proven as terrorists.

No, but they should be treated humanely when possible.

Yes, but give them trials in military tribunals

Yes, The Constitution doesn't grant our rights, it protects them from government

No, but they should be investigated and tried fairly

No, execute them.

As non-citizens they should not be given any constitutional rights that only apply to citizens, but they should be retain any constitutional rights that apply to non-citizens to the same extent as domestic terrorism suspects would.

No, but they must be 100% sure that this person has committed an act of terrorism

How flexible is the term suspect? If government agencies find the alleged with incriminating contraband, then no, they shouldn't have extensive legal opportunities. They should be afforded a fair trial, but appeals should be eliminated. Also, the penalties should fit the crime.

only if proven innocent.

They should have no Constitutional rights intel they are proven not guilty.

yes they should be tried in military tribunals and tortured and Guantanamo Bay prison should remain open but give a fair trial

No, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights, but they should not be subject to torture. We should do what one successful info-getter did by befriending the prisoners, going on walks with them, and soon these soldiers who were trained to withstand torture were sharing secret info by accident.

Yes, unless they were actually convicted of the crime, then no they shouldn't be given rights.

Yes but no at the same time. yes because they are still people but are just suspects, but no because they were or are terrorism's.

Yes, but only if they are found not guilty and/or if they passed the standards to have the rights after proper investigation and background checks, and just ensure that the foreigner won't go destroying our country.

If they are only suspects then yes but if it is confirmed they are terrorists then no

Yes, after proper investigation and background checks, just to be sure that the foreigner won't go destroying our country. But only if they are found not guilty and/or if they passed the standards to have the rights.

i think it depends

No, but they should be treated according to International Human Rights Law

I think they should either be tried in a military tribunal or be moved to another country to see trial

They are foreigners, therefore they shouldn’t have the same rights as an American. Not every country has the same rules as the US

Yes, but only if they are already legal citizens in the United States. However, they should still have a court trial.

No, shoot the terrorist.

No, they need to prove they have no terrorist ties and mean our country no harm before given any constitutional rights

Execute proven terrorists

Yes, but only if they are proven to be not guilty and they come here legally

Just shoot the terrorists.

they should be aloud to but if they are clearly trying to cause harm shut it down

Yes, lend them constitutional rights in order to receive a fair trial by US standards.

No, because they are suspected of terrorism.

no, they should just be checked on a lot ?

It depends on any circumstances. If someone is claimed to be a terrorist but there is no visible evidence to suggest that they have been conspiring a terrorist act, then they should have constitutional rights. If, however, they pose a significant threat to our country and have clear evidence of conspiring a terrorist act, they should not have constitutional rights.
