I'm not Harry (not by a long way) but I believe I can answer this.

Bill of Rights



Interesting Stuff. Somebody wanna tell the "prisoners" at Guantanamo Bay?

Not sure if the Bill of Rights applies. Note this amendment:

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a 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*[emphasis added]; nor shall any person be subject for
the same offense 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.
