here you go Marconius, as I am not any more "in the know" about this case any more than you are, like you, my research is limited to the same sources as you...........


Bottom line here is.........holding this sack of shit is the safer play.........or should we just wait until he disappears in a city and blows up 5 city blocks......the govt. obviously has a very good reason to hold him that you, me, or the courts know about. If not, why would they waste their time on just another street thug?

your armchair quarterbacking and logic is truly a sight to behold.
*sigh*  Check the sources, sir.  You posted news from 2002...and my links are from much later than that.  Here's a 2005 retrospective carried out by the BBC.  Note how the US authorities only make allegations and do not have any sources or proof.  For the sake of the BBC story, it was written that way, but in every case of the US informing any media about Padilla, they only make allegations and never offer any evidence.  Here's a great read about the battle.

Your apathy for the government detaining US Citizens indefinitely without charge is apalling, as is your support for rising totalitarianism.  I suggest you read "The Trial" by Franz Kafka.

Padilla was named as an "enemy combatant" by the Bush administration after the Feds couldn't come up with proof to prove him guilty of their first accusations.  This means that the Bush Administration made a gross infringement on Padilla's 5th amendment rights, just by calling him a combatant and whisking him off to the brig with no proof or evidence to back their claim.  The 5th amendment:

The U.S. Constitution wrote:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
There is no proof of Padilla as an enemy combatant other than the hearsay of the government.  Until they prove that he indeed was an enemy combatant and offer up solid, hard evidence, Padilla is innocent of all accusation and still stands in a brig for no justifiable reason whatsoever.
Like I said..........They have him for a reason that is not public knowledge.......and I couldn't care less.

This "choir boy" of yours has gotten the govts. attention for some reason. You know as well as I do our govt. isn't in the habit of pulling everyday civilians off the street and throw them in jail for no reason..Stop trying to spread acqusations that people in our country just "disappear" at the hands of our "evil govt". He is off the street and our country is a safer place for it.

YOu will absolutely positively find no sympathy for terrorist or any person associated with them in me.

If they find it in you, I would keep it to yourself around any of our soldiers trying to combat it.
