re: #173 Sharmuta

The Attorney General and the President put KSM in federal court because they thought conviction was assured. This means KSM, now with the rights of an American on trial, has been presumed guilty, whereas our Constitution says we’re innocent until proven guilty.

Honest question: I’m Canadian. Lets say I end up in Texas, and I go on a rampage due to lack of Tim Hortons coffee. And I put a brick through the local Dunkin Donuts . From my understanding I’ll be read my rights, etc ,etc and generally treated as an American, even after I’ve been identified as a (legal) foreign national. Is this covered somewhere in the constitution? Or just a courtesy that is extended type deal.
