Now you are comparing Reno to Ashcroft. No comparison. I know the man, and he ain't Janet Reno! Padilla is a piece of shit. He should have been executed for murder years ago. He is a recidivist. An habitual offender.

You/I/we only know what the media and gov tells us about this character. Perhaps they have more on him than we know. Perhaps as more of his "buddies" are rounded up, they will gather more intel that can be released to the public. Time will tell. In the mean time? My $ is on Ashcroft.

"You/I/we only know what the media and gov tells us about this character. Perhaps they have more on him than we know."

Perhaps the scariest thing I've ever read from a conservative. Perhaps we should just eliminate those backwater ideas of trial by jury, presumption of innocence, and (clearly the most inefficent of all) criminal charges of some kind or another before we throw the bums in jail.

I've never before seen anyone on FR advocate the inerrancy of the government, let alone the media.
