It's quite clear this isn't the actual policy of the US, though, given the existence of Guantanamo Bay.

I agree, I think it’s increasing important to separate the “people of the US” from the “US Government.”

The only requirement of an abstract definition is that it be comprehensible and internally consistent.

It is clearly not consistent to criticize Americans for violating inalienable human rights while claiming that inalienable human rights are a concept that does not exist for non-Americans.
