The US Supreme Court has taken up the issue whether the executive
branch can detain people indefinitely merely by declaring them to be
suspected terrorists or illegal enemy combatants. The case is a
habeas corpus issue and, therefore, of the utmost importance. Without
the protection of habeas corpus, government can lock away anyone on
the basis of unsubstantiated charges as the Guantanamo detainees have
been for nearly six years.
