Once a violation of the Constitution is allowed then violations become easier and easier. Take for instance the internment of Japanese Americans by FDR in 1942, which is 100% violation of the Constitution. To make matters worse in 1944 the Supreme Court ruled the administration action were fully Constitution, all be it that FDR had packed the court with judges that believed that the Constitution did not limited the Federal government in any way. Now fast forward to modern time with the Gitmo Detainee. When you allow the internment of American just because somewhere in their heritage they had Japanese roots, it become that much easier detain non-American just because to think they might be terrorist. Whenever you do not have respect for the Constitution at any time for what ever reason, it become that much easier to ignore the Constitution at another time. The Constitution is not an A` la carte menu that you can chose from when ever you want to. The Constitution is a take it all or leave it. So when FDR and his packed court interned Americans, they gave George W. Bush and now Barack Obama the ability to detain foreigner for as long as they wanted to.

I think that there is some truth in this. As far as getting the American public to accept things.

Example: Bush did it and you didn't whine and cry....that statement seems to be the ok for Obama to do worse and get away with it!

Actually, no part of the U.S. Constitution covers anything to do with the execution of war, foreign nationals not on US soil, enemies during war, or even prisoner taken (during war or otherwise).

The US Constitution was never meant to cover any of this because it never was meant to cover foreign countries in the first place.

The people at GITMO are to be afforded the basic human rights of food, shelter, clothing. Their treatment and faciilies are inspected and monitored by the International Red Cross.

The fact is, if the detainees were reclassified to Enemy Prisoner of War, they would actually be entitled to far fewer rights and priveliges than they do now.

You are right, the Nissei's Constitutional rights were definitely violated, because they were Americans and in The US at their time of incarceration.
