Overly sensitive people rarely do.

And it isn't a matter of American or not American. Any one in the world can become an American citizen alot easier than they could become a citizen of a lot of countries. American is built on immigration. If you know anything at all about the American legal system, you will know that it has very little to do with race or the country you are from, and a whole lot to do with the size of your bank account. You can expect that any terrorist they capture, even if he is born and raised in America, brown, black, white, yellow, or purple, they are going to be treated the same way. The funny thing about it is the other side wouldn't hesitate to torture an American if they caught him, even if he has no information to give them. It isn't just American lives America is trying to protect. Why don't you find yourself a good history book and check out American track record over the last hunred or so years. There are some black spots, but I would love for you to tell me a country that doesn't.
