Took me a while but I found it. The authority for the Executive branch to detain suspected terrorists is required under sec. 412 of Public Law 107-56. The authority is granted to the Attorney General. The detainee my apply for a writ of Habeas Corpus but it must be applied for. Looks like the ball is in Padilla's court.

WHO can suspend Habeas corpus? Its in the power of the CONGRESS ONLY, anything other then that is an UNCONSTITUTIONAL "LAW" Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2. Please Understand, I'm Going by what the CONSTITUTION say's, It is not my fault that people no longer seem to think that matters because a Public "law" trumps it. Constitution IS the LAW.
