That quote Red ?
Nope beat you to it - see the above.

Who has Padilla declared himself citizen or subject of ????Uncle Osama ?
But seriously have you read the indictment and the "links" they are putting forward against him and his co-accused
Not really because I figured the Supreme Court would eventually halt the attempt concerning Padilla, since he is a citizen of the United States.

You would think that after 3 years they would have a bit more, or even something really concrete, half of it seems to contradict the other half , and whatever hapened to the allegations of the "dirty bomb" that they have been scaring the public with all this time .
You would think - but it seems that is all the evidence they might have to attempt a trail - hince you see the government backing off before their hand is called by the court.

Is it going to turnout like the British Chemical attack case that turned out to be complete bollox ending up with most suspects walking free and one convicted of trying to be a nuicance(sp?) ?
Oh I image Padilla will be charged, put on trail, convicted, and then released with time served.
