    You say inhabitants but it's clear from the article that at least some of the litigants were not inhabiting USA territory. And I thought the entire point of setting up Guantanamo Bay was that it "technically" wasn't US soil therefore they are not afforded the same protections.

      You are right; it's not inhabitants. It's anyone with standing.

      I edited my reply for clarity.

      French citizens who are rear ended by an American during their vacation, for example, but must return home the next day, still have screws to the courts.

      As one would expect.

      The location of a person when they file a lawsuit has no bearing on its validity.

      No other system would make sense.
