As far as I know, Boumediene v. Bush was about military detainees, it did not impact the Military Commissions Act, which is what constitutes denial of habeus corpus to the average, begging your pardon, Joe the Plumber. And anyway, he issued some signing statement after Boumediene that negated what the SCOTUS said, anyway.

The reach of habeas corpus is currently being tested in the United States. Oral arguments on a consolidated Guantanamo Bay detention camp detainee habeas corpus petition,
Al Odah v. United States were heard by the Supreme Court of the United States on December 5, 2007. US courts' jurisdiction was altered by Congress in HR 1955, The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007.
On June 12, 2008, the Supreme Court ruling in Boumediene v. Bush recognized habeas corpus rights for the Guantanamo prisoners. On October 7, 2008, the first Guantanamo prisoners were ordered released by a court considering a habeus corpus petition.[3]
