uh, no, read the constitution. there's an "out clause" on the habeas corpus concept in which habeas corpus can be suspended "when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it." clearly anyone participating in terrorist acts against the US, particularly on foreign soil, is committing not just treason, but an act of rebellion. habeas corpus is not an absolute right, which is where you seem to be misled. the same can be said for freedom of speech: not all speech is protected, like it or not.
he's right, face it, you're wrong.

Both rebellion and invasion are instances where the system may be too busy. A handful of citizens do not require the suspension for public safety. Public safety isn't helped in the least by that. Nobody's saying it's absolute, just like I wasn't speaking specifically of Guantanamo, just like I wasn't speaking anything about wiretapping. But it's inherent except in extreme cases where it's not feasible. This is not one of those times. Even the bill of rights are not a absolute, so claiming that it's simply not absolute is irrelevant, it's merely academic.
