Actually it does, because they don't have American citizenship. Also, if you think that the American constitution applys to all, all the "illegal war" rhetoric would be wrong; the American congress voted for it so that should be the last word.
And as for the suspects, honestly I don't really care about what rights they might have deprived. It allows the US government to eliminate people who are dangerous to the citizens. I have no sympathy for them, and I honestly think this is a good first step. This is the first time that America has faced a true threat against its citizens, and we are feeling our way through dealing with it. Of course we take them from their countries, because if and when they would choose to come themselves, it'll be with a bomb strapped to their body.
