“Does this mean that Habeas Corpus is NOT a western value?”

Not when a liberal Democrat is POTUS. For example:

“…nonresident enemy aliens, captured and imprisoned abroad, have no right to a writ of habeas corpus in a court of the United States.”–Johnson v. Eisentrager, 1950

However, the rules are different when a Republican is POTUS and a bunch of supreme court justices want to hamstring the war effort…

In that case nonresident enemy aliens captured and imprisoned abroad do have a right to a writ of habeas corpus, for which see Boumediene v. Bush.

So whether it’s a “western value” really depends on who is currently holding office.

“Does this mean that Habeas Corpus is NOT a western value?”
It might be, but it is not discussed in the Geneva Conventions.

[...] Obama bristles about it. Bush ignored it and liberated 60 million people and, as Jules remarks has accepted the role of punching bag as he has done it. Bush has done more to keep people alive in Africa than any president previous, [...]

Please pay attention. We’re discussing George W. Bush, not Abraham Lincoln.

President Bush’s first sin against the hard core left was to win Florida and the White House in 2000. There is an unusual reservoir of bile that was stored up from him before he ever took office. Nothing he did would ever redeem his sin of forthrightly and aggressively avoiding having that election stolen by his political opponents in the other party. The consequences of the ruined transition that came out of that fight are going to be a huge topic of historical interest.
