As I read on the Miranda Warning(note the correct name), they are not giving rights, only informing some one of rights.
Forgive me but that makes no sense. What's the point of informing someone of rights they do not retain?
A Miranda warning (yes, I know what it is) is simply a communication of rights retained under the US Constitution. By Mirandizing enemy combatants and trying them in the criminal justice system we are conferring substantive legal rights upon them - ones retained specifically by US citizens.
