Jose Padilla , whether we like it or not, is a US citizen. The first thing that was said about the Patriot Act was that its special provisions do not apply to US citizens.
Apparently, that wasn't true. I am somewhat chary of a law that can be incrementally expanded at the whim of a bureaucrat particularly when it was passed with assurances that that would never happen.
Either charge Mr. Padilla or cut him loose. It's the law.

The Patriot Act has nothing to do with the case. Not even mentioned in the opinions.

Mr. Padilla lost his rights as an American citizen when he decided to take up arms against the United States on behalf of a foreign "prince".
Bush should ignore this foolish court.
