I've noticed that the United States is claiming that constitutional protections for persons (you know, quaint things like fair trials and security of the person) don't apply to the "detainees" at Guantanamo Bay because they are not on United States territory, despite the fact that they are housed on a U.S. military base, because the base is located in another country.
If this is so, it would seem to indicate that John McCain is not eligible to run for the U.S. presidency, since he was born on a military base in Panama, and therefore is not a person born in the U.S., which is a requirement for the job... a very hard requirement, seeing as it was included in the very first drafts of the U.S. constitution.
So... which is it boys, do the detainees get their rights protected by the U.S. constitution, or is John McCain ineligible for the job of President of the United States?
