The only way for it to be definitely Constitutional is for it to be in a Constitutional amendment or otherwise in the Constitution.
It says "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." in Article 1, Section 9. We are not in a state of rebellion (sadly; what's it going to take?) nor are we being invaded.
There was a state of rebellion during the US Civil War, which is why Lincoln could get away with it.
Can you cite specifically that Roosevelt suspended habeas corpus? He did intern the Japanese-Americans (removing their HC rights) but I can't find where it says he did so on a general basis. There was, for a time, a danger that the US would be invaded by Japan but that was ended with the Battles of Midway in June 1942 and Guadalcanal in August '42-February '43, the Japanese occupation of a couple Aleutian islands notwithstanding.
The only time the US was invaded was during the War of 1812, and HC was not suspended.
Does anyone bother reading before commenting anymore?

See one of the earlier comments. It's all about avoiding lawsuits because a well-meaning school nurse might give a kid the wrong meds; OTOH, I've heard via Usenet (yeah, that's unimpeachable testimony) of a guy who had his arm broken by an idiot teacher who shouldn't have been trying to fix whateveritwas anyway.
It seems to me that you should send such critical information out-of-band. I would think that a dedicated modem link would be sufficient, and you can get a couple of good USR Courier modems for less than 500 USD; that's peanuts to such a big corp.
FTM why aren't your PHBs investing money in your email system?
You do know that all history affects us to some extent, right?
I'm not talking about the Balkans or the Middle East where what your relative did to mine seven hundred years ago is a valid reason for me killing you.
That's actually my rationale for maybe believing in deities -- they may not exist in any objective sense (I'm agnostic), but other people believe in them, so their behavior is affected, which in turn affects me.

This is my suggestion.
BAD TOUCH! I so didn't need an image of a Godzilla-like beast wearing a sexy negligee.
Multiple stupids don't make a smart.

I believe it's OK to say "Bush should be hanged from the nearest tall tree", but you can't encourage others to do it or attempt it yourself.
The /. editors will never live up to their job titles. They usually don't read the links themselves.
Did it have hot stick-on-clay action?
He probably had to play with himself a lot.
Hmm.
Every time you masturbate, Jack Thompson sues another game publisher. Please, think of the publishers.
Are you going to scream about activist judges?
Yep, 3.62 was the last version of real Opera. 4.0 added bloat: mail client and Flash player.

Just so you know, that and pretty much any astronomical picture is false-color. Still pretty, but scientists gave it a helping hand.
Well, yeah! How often do you have a dead guy try to sell you something?
What morons modded this up? Nobody outside of Lindows users and other fools runs as root.
I think this post is a troll.
Oh yes, brilliant! Let's have another abuse of the legal system, 'cause that's what it's there for.
Asshat.

Occasionally black people would join the KKK.
It doesn't appear to do that in FF 2.0rc2 on Win32.
There is a Free flash-alike: Gnash.

Since you became such a doody-head, of course.
ROTFL! That goes in my quotes file.
Yes there is, and Netcraft confirms it!
