Please refer to the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments to the US Cosntitution. The Constitution applies to the US government in all cases where it exercises jurisdiction and authority.
The US government is specifically required to comply with the Constitution and it is the violations of these rights afforded to all PEOPLE under its authority and jurisdiction that is at issue. Even such legal documents such as the Geneva Convention treaty are subordinate to the US Constitution.
Please note that waterboarding is a direct violation of the 8th Amendment. Denial of the Constitutional rights of People (not just citizens) under the jurisdiction and authority of the US government constitutes a High Crime should be prosecuted.
