Human Events asks Congressmen about Padilla

#2  Sounds like an interview with Kerry. He wants to play both sides. 'I am OUTRAGED by his detention but glad we did to find out what he knew about terrorists plans.' It was/is right to detain a COMBABTANT that is working on behalf of another nation/group opposed to the U.S. If this was 1943 and Padilla had be working for the Germans would we be having this discussion?

I myself believe the accusations against Padilla and think we can continue to detain him in the current circumstances, but this interviewer is a bit presumptuous about the issues.

There are valid doubts about the facts, because we have heard only the Government's accusations. And there are valid Constitutional issues about due process.

The interviewer is a clever polemicist, though. He's good at ambushing people and publishing their answers in an embarrassing manner.
