And since the most famous 'victim' of the habeas corpus suspension, John Merryman, was arrested for terrorist activites (he burned a bridge)

So burning a bridge is a terrorist activity?

No, it's treason. Ask John Merryman.

No, it's treason. Ask John Merryman.

Sorry, but treason requires a charge, a case, and a conviction. Lincoln simply threw Merryman in jail without the benefit of any of those things.
