Much as the right to free speech does not let you say just anything, no one has ever thought that a "right to life" is violated if, e.g., someone kills you in self-defense.

So what you're saying is that whatever rights the alleged enemy combatants enjoy (derived from whatever source, divine or philosophical), they have not done (or been adequately proven to have done) something that justifies taking away their rights.

The ground is quickly getting murky here.
