“In
all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a
speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and
district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district
shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of
the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the
witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining
witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his
defense.” - 6th Ammendment
Trying
enemy combatants—only a fool, a demagogue or a traitor would
suggest that the Constitution requires it. First of all, this right
applies to criminal prosecutions and not actions of war. Secondly the
actions did not take place in any State or district within the United
States. Of third note, it is absolutely ludicrous (if not downright
insane) to show the enemy the very intelligence you are using against
him.
