In the US Supreme Court Case Boumediene V

Short Answer

In the U.S. Supreme Court case Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723 (2008), the U.S. Supreme Court held that detainees at Guantanamo Bay are entitled to the protection of the Fifth Amendment right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law. Should the Fifth Amendment due process rights apply just to U.S. citizens or should the due process also be extended to other persons, including enemy combatants?
