#3 Imprisoned without charge, tortured, convicted, sentence to prison for a very long time. I call that a win for us, a loss for them. So a loss for reuters, I guess.

#4 The progressive community is wailing because Padilla was held for 3 1/2 years without charge. The news community is telling us all that it shows we can try terrorist cases in civilian courts (even though the charges finally made against Padilla didn't relate to what he was trying to do).

I can make everyone happy -- next time we catch someone like this, we immediately declare that person's citizenship forfeit (per USSC 1942), convene a military tribunal, try the man, and if convicted, give him a single appeal straight to the SecDef. If that appeal fails, shoot the SOB.

There now, that wasn't so hard, was it?

#5 Point of order here, they couldn't make the dirty bomb case because Joser admitted that with his Miranda Rights. So the Feds couldn't use that in court but there was a MOUNTAIN of othe evidens linking him to Al Quaeda and illegal activity. That's why he got convicted on associated crimes and not the primary one. The LLL Mo0b@t$ think that just because we couldn't get him on hte dirty bomb charges he should be set free...Think again.

#7 Feds got Capone on tax evasion. They wanted him for a whole raft of activities, including a couple murders. But taxes is what they could nail him on in a trial.

At least Padilla's charges were terror-related.
