The US Constitution states that the writ of habea corpus may be suspended by Congress only in times of war, invasion, or national emergency. Congress has suspended the writ in the case of prisoners held at Guantanamo as alleged terrorists or illegal combatants. This action is controversial because the US has not been invaded, is not engaged in a declared war, and is not in a state of national emergency.
