Yes, you are. Habeus corpus is a writ that directs the officer to present the matter to the Sovereign, and is actually designed for just this type of situation. The United States is holding someone outside of the US specifically in order to deny them rights they would have here within the jurisdiction. The writ requires these public officials to present in court the sole question of whether or not the individual is being lawfully detained. If the US is holding foreign nationals outside of US soil, a writ is appropriate to allow the court to determine, not whether the foreign national is innocent or guilty, but if our law allows the US government to hold someone without due process.

???????????. Here we go again. I don't know how to respond when Taxwonk makes such ridiculous comments like this. If anyone else on this board agrees with what Taxwond says, then I will explain why this is so obviously wrong, but until he gets a 2. I will leave it alone.
Anyone agree with him?
