True, for its US Citizen detainees and it's soldiers. Foreigners need not apply.

The supreme court ruled otherwise. What the supreme court says goes. Unless congress tries something else of course.

You can have an opinion on the matter but you need to stop making it sound like fact.

So do you and this Matthew guy think we ought to adopt old Khans hostile city pacification program where if they resisted his demand for surrender the city is sacked, razed and it's population put to the sword, or do you figure that what we call torture these days Ghengis would call just kidding around? :p

This is important, as the right of Habeas Corpus is a right that ALL people automatically have and don't need to be specifically granted, and have had since the days of the Magna Carta.
