This is why I think the June 12 Supreme Court decision in Boumediene v. Bush was the right one. The Court held, by a 5-4 vote:
"Petitioners have the constitutional privilege of habeas corpus. They are not barred from seeking the writ or invoking the Suspension Clause's protections because they have been designated as enemy combatants or because of their presence at Guantanamo." (Boumediene et al. v. Bush, President of the United States, et al., p.3)
