Why do you want to go to bat for a maggot like Padilla?

I don't think anyone is "going to bat" for padilla as such.

The precedent is a little scary though.

Do you remember Oklahoma City? Everyone went bonkers after that..

They were blaming "the Right Wing" "Right Wing hate radio" and on and on with "Right Wing" this and "Right Wing" that.

I don't think it's taking up for the guy as much as people asking themselves if this could ever happen to them though they are innocent. It's probably merited in padillia's case, but the "probably" makes people wonder.

It makes me wonder..

I find your analogy all wet.This man is a enemy combatant, in a time of war, with a criminal record, having served time for murder, a known al Quada operative, who may have been involved in OKC, and you are worried about the possibility of being snatched from your bed one night under a different administration, for the crime of.....?????? You planning on doing something that would put you in front of a military tribunal??
