I personally believe that the US has a responsibility to a higher ideal than even international law, namely our own code of conduct as described by our own law. The Declaration of Independence says, "All men are created equal", not "All citizens". To say that these rights which we declared inalienable to all men are null just because you aren't a citizen is beyond me, especially as we trapse around the world touting our superior method of government only to ignore some of its more basic principles.
