Has our government gone to far suspending habeus corpus?:
This is one of the fundamental protections in a civilized society. We are now reduced to the level of a police state. I don't blame Bush for asking for this power; I blame a cowardly congress for granting it. That's one reason the nation rejected the GOP.

To answer the previous post, the President can declare ANYONE, not just foreigners, a "person who might be aiding terrorists", and then hold them indefinitely at an undisclosed location. Effectively, this has entirely negated habeas corpus. 

The President is not required to explain to a court why he believes someone has aided terrorists, so he could literally choose anyone, and no-one, not even the Supreme Court could require him to produce that person ever again - people can now just 'disappear' - as happens in facist dictatorships.
