Padilla is a drug-dealing, gang-banging convicted MURDERER! The fact these incidents were adjudicated while a juvenile do not excuse him. If AG Ashcroft wants him locked up? There is a darn good reason for it.

Well, Randy Weaver was a gun law breaking militia man plotting to overthrow the US. Or so will say the next Democratic President who uses this scary tactic that Ashcroft is using.

Here is the smell test for a law when your party is in power. Would you like the other side to use it? If you trust Janet Reno to decide which Americans are to be deprived of their bill of rights, be my guest and support Ashcroft's assault on our constitution.

I would like to find out what Padilla's connection was to Oklahoma City. That question came up and then was swept under the rug or maybe the Justice Dept hasn't swept it under the rug.

I still think he looks a lot like John Doe.

Yep, so long as his right as an American are respected.

Really? So if there is a reason he wants you locked up, then to hell with the US Constitution too? MURDER shmerder, he served his time, you can't lock some one right back up like that....it's called double jeapardy.

Why is it that foreigners can see the worst coming but Americans themselves are so naive and ready to throw away all their protections and embrace totalitarianism?

If you want him on drug charges, then bring Padilla up, areane him and try him...there is a system already worked out...or did you forget about it in your authoritarian flush.
