#1 I have an idea. If the ACLU gets some leftist Federal judge to let him out, the ACLU attorneys who whined about Padilla can "volunteer" to be "Human Shields" at various key landmarks. So if a dirty bomb is set off, they will finally understand as they twitch and die of radiation sickness why us regular people were so concerned about Padilla.

#2 Blowing up apartment buildings, eh? Sounds like Padilla (who used to go by an Arabic name - something like Muhijaz, if I recall) has taken a page out of the manual the Chechens have been using in Moscow and other places.

#3 What this article and others like it avoid stating is:
"...Documents released by the department claimed that Padilla and an al-Qaida accomplice were to enter the United States through Mexico or Puerto Rico..."

Calling George Bush! Calling Tom Ridge! Not everyone crossing our porous southern border are nice Mexican families looking for a better life. Duh.

Padilla's Muslim name is Abdullah al-Muhajir, btw.

Orrin Hatch, who is quoted in this article, should be dumped by Utah voters for being a 2 faced RINO politician. Hatch is Senate Justice Committee Chairman, which should mean he should have at least a passing interest in upholding our laws. However, this twit is a big booster of giving taxpayer supported college education to illegal aliens, which subverts our immigration laws and serves to attract more illegal border crossings...ie. the DREAM Act, SB 1545

#4 From now on we should just summarily shoot unlawful combatants on the field. No fuss, no muss, no Geneova convention, no UN, no ALCU, and no trials. I say we turn Mr. Padilla loose with much fanfare in NYC, leave his orange brig jumber on him, and let nature take it course.

#5 Good suggestion, Sarge! I'll second your motion. POW's won't give us any valuable info in the future now that they have to be treated with TLC.

#6 I remember the warnings after 9/11 here in NYC about the possibility of terrorists renting apartments and then blowing them up. Back then it sounded to me like paranoid hoopla. Now, though. Maybe our intelligence folk were a lot better than we gave them credit for, because this was long before anyone had ever heard of Padilla.
