I did answer the question very directly you just don't like the obvious answer
Slave said: Because I, for one, did not realize that the Constitutional right to Habeas Corpus applied to foreign nationals on foreign soil.
You said: Never mind what the Constitution says. Why should it matter? We know he's innocent.
I said: If they were completely innocent they should be let free. Does that answer your question?
Then you said: No, my question was whether they should be able to seek a writ of habeas corpus.
My answer: No - it has nothing to do with the constitution or with the domestic legal system.
I didn't answer the question - give me a break.
I thought the definition of "it" would be obvious considering the prior dialogue. It = a case where you have a foreign national on foreign soil. And as already stated before the consitution does not apply.
