Now you're just being silly, Dana.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus
(Since you're so fond of Wikipedia)

"This procedure, part of English common law, was considered important
enough to be specifically mentioned in the United States Constitution,
which says, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be
suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public
Safety may require it." (Article One, section nine)."

So the US Constitution *does* have a process for the writ.  The
legislation passed simply dictates that it is only available to US
Citizens.
