PADILLA V. HANFT
December 21, 2005
A federal appeals court denies the government's request to transfer American terror suspect Jose Padilla from military custody to civilian custody, concluding that by doing so "the government may be attempting to avoid consideration of our decision by the Supreme Court, and also because we believe that this case presents an issue of such special national importance as to warrant final consideration by that court."
