It seems to me, that this is another specialty matter all together (enemy combatants). In any case, I believe it's a stretch to go from this to saying that those outside of the U.S. don't deserve basic human rights.
If it is, I'm not sure why. But in any event, the very same argument you mentioned, has been used.
