I agree with this. The guy may be scum, even a terrorist, but either charge him with something or release him.

Ya gotta wonder if the Feds are daring the appeals court to call their hand on Padilla. I am beginning to suspect that the prosecutors will now say: okay, ya want charges? well, here they are. Yet another December Surprise for our side.

Bullcorn! He spent time in an Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan. Jose Padilla is a trained terrorist!

AGREE! IF we're SURE this POS was planning to detonate a "Dirty Bomb" ANYWHERE--but we are having Trouble "Proving It 'Legally,'", then we SHOULD "Release Him!!"-- at 40,000ft over his "Place of Origin!," WITHOUT a Parachute!!

As we should "Release" the other "Combatants" in Cuba.

We are in a WARTIME Situation; the "Judiciary" has, apparently "Forgotten That Fact!!"

Our "OH-SO-Careful" Peacetime Judiciary haven't operated in a time when America was in MORTAL DANGER. They have FORGOTTEN that the "PRIME DIRECTIVE" is to "Preserve the Republic!"

They (The "Judiciary) Think that the (NEVER-Legitimized) UNSPECIFIED "Rights" of Aliens (Non-Citizens) TRUMP National Security in a Time When We are Under Attack by an Amourphous Foreign Enemy.

To Those of us who are US CITIZENS, the "Judiciary" is suffering a SERIOUS "BRAIN CRAMP!"

NON US CITIZENS are NOT "US CITIZENS,"--& are NOT subject to the Laws & Protections of our Constitution.

IF I Come from Tashkent with a Nuclear Bomb to Destroy the Supreme Court, I am NOT considered a "US Citizen!!"

SOMEHOW, the US JUDICIARY have FORGOTTEN WHO THEY WORK FOR!!

SIGH!
