Not if you're an "unlawful" enemy combatant.

Ah, but a court is the only power that can, legally, determine if a
combatant is "unlawful". Bush does not have that power. The 1996 War
Crimes Act also makes it clear, that failure to follow the Geneva
Convention is a war crime. Impeachment, anyone?

And what about Yaser Hamdi? For three years, this administration held
him, an American citizen, incommunicado, assaulting all Americans' civil
liberties. Holding that Hamdi "jeopardizes compelling national security
interests" and would "interfere with if not irreparably harm the
military's ongoing efforts to gather intelligence." Then they back him
off to Saudi, when he promises that he won't sue. Must have been a real
threat.
