Incompetence Bred by Hysteria
The case against Jose Padilla will soon be exposed for what it really is, a flimsy show trial trumped up by former Attorney General John Asscroft intended to impress Americans with law enforcement's performance in “protecting” us from terror.
A federal Appeals Court has refused granting the Bushies request to transfer Padilla from military to civilian law enforcement custody. The court questioned why the government used one set of facts before the court for 3 1/2 years to justify holding Padilla without charges but used another set to convince a grand jury in Florida to indict him last month.
The reason will likely turn out to be they have no evidence to charge him with on the original claims, they can't just let him go or they will look like fools, so they are searching for something they can pin on him. Makes one feel safer all the time – doesn't it?
