While I AGREE with the U. S. Supreme Court's "GITMO" majority opinion
that "all enemy combatants detained during a war, at least insofar as
they are confined in an area away from the battlefield, [but] over
which the United States exercises 'absolute and indefinite' control,
may seek a writ of habeas corpus in federal court," I also AGREE with
Chief Justice Roberts (and his fellow dissenters) that the Writ can be
suspended in time of war, such as the war on terror that we find
ourselves involved in right now, and that suspension power belongs to
Congress, such as Congress has exercised in this case, "as the
Constitution surely allows Congress to [wield]."
