By that argument, we are infringing on other countries' sovereignty. We wouldn't want Canada to assassinate Americans in the United States because they aren't Canadian citizens.

Rights should be inalienable if it is a legitimate Right. A Constitutional trial for someone willing to fight a Constitutionally founded nation is Justice for both parties.

Read the constitution.
For reference, here is the text of the 8th amendment:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Certain rights, like voting are limited to Citizens. Certain rights like the right to protest are only guaranteed to "the people" which courts have interpreted to mean the "voting class" (i.e. adult Citizens minus felons) but certain rights, like the right to free speech and the right not to be tortured are applicable to everyone as they are more of a limitation on hwhat the government can do, instead of grant of certain privileges to certain people.

When the constitution states ¨all men are created equal¨ it does not limit it to Americans only, but everyone on earth.
We should present anyone being tried in the United States Justice system with the same rights, so that there's no confusion on what sort of rights any defendant may have.

Our founding fathers wished us not to get involved in foreign affairs and would likely want us to ensure our country stays safe from foreign attack and evil deeds.

My best argument against the postilion on terrorism is that they didn't fully convert into their american citizenship of maybe they didn't take the test.
@9F9HTVY2yrs2Y
They can get their citizenship and come to the United States and they should be given the same constitutional rights.

The perpetrators of 9/11 were seen on surveillance cameras before the attacks. They were conducting seemingly day-to-day activities, but their actions resulted in the deaths of 3,000 innocent Americans. Criminals like them must be targeted and executed to prevent the deaths of innocent people in the United States. Most importantly, individuals like these men who roam the streets of this country freely and do not show any indication of planning an attack absolutely do NOT deserve constitutional protection.

Even if the person is not a US citizen they need to be sentenced for his actions like others in the country.
