My question was, if they're innocent and the government continues to hold them, should they be able to seek a writ of habeas corpus. Not, do they have the right under the law as it is, but should the law give them the right. I thought you were ducking the question, but perhaps you didn't understand what I was getting at.

Not to speak for Spanky, but I think we've both said repeatedly (i) no, the government should not be holding truly innocent people indefinitely, but (ii) assuming they were - and this is a major, major assumption - no they should not be entitled to habeas corpus nor should the law be expanded. He has other non-judicial means of recourse, such as a plea from his foreign ambassador.
