How is the 'indefinite detention' illegal if it is provided for in the United States Constitution?

Article 1, Sec 9.

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.

The only thing i see amiss is that the unless power is granted to Congress and not the Executive Branch.
