The U. S. Constitution is not a suicide pact.  A civilized, free society leaves itself open to attack.  At what point does that society draw the line and close the door to uncivilized attack by those who live by no rules or regulations and demonstrate complete disregard for civilization?  The answer is, "Somewhere before that society is destroyed."   Self-preservation is simple to understand if a person simply thinks.

Enemy combatants must be detained, interrogated and held under control to prevent their uncivilized behavior.
