The phrasing of your reply suggested the US Courts might object to incarceration with out due process. Ergo ,you feel a case can be made that they do have rights. The issue isn't about them having rights or not, its about whether they can be held without trial. Being able to hold them without trial doesn't mean they don't have rights. Also courts don't have to decide to allow something in order for it to be a problem. Just having these decisions go through the court system in the first place is a problem. You can't run a war that way. It doesn't matter if you win every case, giving full process rights to captured enemy is very unrealistic, even dangerous, and isn't something that is required by our constitution, any law or treaty, or historical custom.
