2001-2008 was not a time of rebellion and danger of public health and safety. The arguments of the court can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boumediene_v._Bush#Opinion_of_the_Court
He was not acquitted of his charges, as he was never charged with anything. (That's the whole point, if he had been arrested and charged with something, his habeas corpus would not have been violated).
He was detained because he knew Bensayah Belkacem, who was detained for the heinous crime of making a lot of telephone calls to Afghanistan.
