Besides the most egregious miscarriage of justice today is that CBS has a story about Jenna Bush getting engaged, but they don''t Have a comment box!!!! Come on CBS!!!!! I just have a FEW things to wish her on her honeymoon!!! Things like drunken impotence on her husbands side!

The conviction will stand. US laws allow the government wide leeway for security reasons. The smuck is going to get life...maybe if we are lucky...some latin thug will finish the job!

The rule of law is more important then the conviction of any terrorist. Any! Even if it were George W. Bush being convicted (as I think he should be) for war crimes, if his conviction was based on "secret" unchallengeable testimony and documents, I would hold my nose and call for the verdict to be overturned. It''s more important in America to let the most abhorrent criminal loose (which does describe Bush) then to violate the rule of law to obtain his conviction. The rule of law is more sacred then any god or church and must not be violated.

Clear, crisp, concise and accurate. Righteous!

The Bush administration claims it must keep Guantanamo (and other "secret prisons") as a concentration camp because "terrorists" (suspects, the accused) cannot be tried in an American court.

Which appears to be just another in the long list of lies told by George Bush.

(Ignoring the fact this case will likely be overturned on appeal. Most of the evidence is likely to be inadmissible due to torture and coercion)

This man was clearly never much of a threat, if any. The illegitimate Bush regime pirates should face a lengthy prison sentence, simply for what they have done to this one American, let alone their mass-murderous and torture laiden crusade of idiocy.

Padilla was held and tortured for years, based on false accusations, without being charged, at an illegal prison compound. I really could not care less what he may or may not have done, at this point, as his rights as a U.S. citizen and as a human being have been so badly violated by the illegitimate Bush cabal. He should be released, compensated, apologized to, and protected as a witness against the regime.

CBS reports here that:

"Most of the conversations were in Arabic and purportedly used code such as "tourism" and "football" for violent jihad or "zucchini" and "eggplant" instead of military weapons or ammunition."

Yet in an earlier CBS report, they write:

"FBI agents testified that the telephone conversations were often in code, with "football" or "tourism" meaning "jihad" and words such as "zucchini" and "eg(g)plant" meaning weapons or ammunition. Yet Padilla was never heard using such code, testimony showed."

So which is it, CBS? Did he use this alleged "code" or was this a fabricated lie designed to wrongfully convict this man?

It does not make much sense to spend so many resources going after insignificant or nonexistent threats like Padilla, while the Bush cabal remains at-large.

The conviction will stand. US laws allow the government wide leeway for security reasons. The smuck is going to get life...maybe if we are lucky...some latin thug will finish the job!

It''ll never stand on appeal as the government present "secret" information that Paddila''s attorney''s were not allowed to see or question. I have no problem with convicting a terrorist of their crimes, but only if it''s done according to the law. This one obviously was not.

[one_american]

I expect the terrorist defending CAIR organization to start their ranting and threaten with lawsuits in 3...2...1...

[one_american]

This is an even bigger defeat for all terrorist sympathizers.

[perception5]

I wonder if the ACLU will appeal his conviction?
