Specter should read the Constitution a little closer.
Article 1, section 9-
....
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.
....
From Dictionary.com, here is the entry for "invasion"
noun 1. an act or instance of invading or entering as an enemy, esp. by an army.
2. the entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful, as disease.
3. entrance as if to take possession or overrun: the annual invasion of the resort by tourists.
4. infringement by intrusion.
I would postulate that terrorists can easily be identified by all 4 definitions.

And the Constitution says when you can suspend the writ of habeas corpus, in time of rebellion or invasion. And we don't have either I'd like to know when the constitutional rights enumerated in our USC were extended to the battlefield.
