You learn about the “case” against Padilla. Here’s the guy that Ashcroft flew home from Russia early to trumpet loudly that caught a ‘dirty’ bomber. Here’s a US citizen that bush put away in a Navy brig without a lawyer for 4 years. Here’s a US Citizen who was tortured by bush. Here’s a US Citizen who has been left a virtual zombie after being tortured for years. Here’s a US Citizen who bush prevented from getting his day in court for years. bush fought all the way the Supreme Court, more than once, before finally agreeing, well after that lying scum Aschroft went home, to let Padilla have his day in court. All the while, they were torturing him and preventing this US CITIZEN from having any of his civil rights.

And, what does the US federal attorney finally present as evidence of what an evil terrorist-loving guy this is. 7 phone calls that barely even _imply_ _ANYTHING_ and a fingerprint, of undetermined age, on the top of document that doesn’t say anything about terrorist activities.

So, after 4 years incommunicado in prison, the US trumpeted that they had the goods on Padilla being connected to terrorism. This was after 4 years of claiming that he was planning on blowing up a dirty bomb. And, the evidence that they finally do present? Nothing more than some wire-taps, which prove nothing and a stupid piece of paper that they could have shoved under his hands while they were torturing him.

Disgusting, anti-American scum run this country.
