I mean he's innocent, and we know.

Assuming that somehow the US government was holding someone that was innocent, and it became common knowledge that they were innocent, from a pure moral perspective, the case should be looked into, but it would have nothing to do with Habeas Corpus.

If they were completely innocent they should be let free. Does that answer your question?

No, my question was whether they should be able to seek a writ of habeas corpus.
