   \nThe Perceived Tension Between Liberty and Security\n\nDon't know what 
 the writ of habeas corpus is? Habeas corpus prevents the indefinite 
 detainment of a prisoner without being charged or brought before a court. 
 Defenders of the right say that suspending the writ of habeas corpus has 
 historically been limited to "when the public safety may require it" and 
 has only been done a handful of times in U.S. history. Can the United 
 States effectively defend against terrorism without suspending habeas 
 corpus? What does it take to protect our freedom? With the Supreme Court 
 set to rule on Boumediene v. Bush and Al Odah v. U.S. (which concern habeas 
 petitions of detainees at Guantanamo Bay), panelists will bring you a 
 deeper understanding of these important issues.\n\nLocation: Club
