the judges who ordered these detainees be treated like
US citizens accused of a crime are treasonous, I agree.

Let's look at a relevant legal reference:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly
describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to
be seized."

Doesn't specifically state "US citizens." Okay, how about another
reference:

"No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise
infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand
Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the
Militia,
when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any
person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of
life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a
witness
against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
without due
process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use,
without just compensation."

This refers to "person," not "US citizen."

Perhaps, ScottW, you can point to where it states that these
legal protections are limited to US citizens?
