to SBBM: you seem to be forgetting it was US-CIA that trained Bin Laden.... and Saddam Hussein and Noriega and etc... etc... ad nauseum.
When will we learn? violence begets violence. doesn''t matter if its year 1 or 10,001, people will act the same, greedy, self centered, violent...
but we DO have the ability and knowledge to make it different. do we want to? do you want to?

I believe in giving everyone a fair trial. That said if this guy''s guilty of even half of what he''s accused of, he should never see the outside world again.

He was just a young idiot at the time trying to be a big man now he has 17 years to think about it. The goverment fabricated charges and evidence and knew better to look good and make us feel like thet were doing thier job and he was the victum in this case because of poor choices abd not being very bright which is what got him in this perdicament in the first place,

Re: "The judge is no doubt an American terrorist sympathizer (ie supports the brutal military invasion in the name of the fraudulent war of terror)."

This does appear to be the case.

What a sad and shameful time this is for the United States of America.

Mark Fiore has produced an appropriate cartoon for this verdict.

This idiot conspired to murder an untold number of Americans and he gets only 17 years! There''s a liberal justice system for you.

Now we are convicting people for what they might do, not what they actually have done. Haven''t we all gone places and seen things that tempted us but we didn''t follow through?

Now the government is convicting people of thought crimes--hypothetical crimes that haven''t been committed. Kids drawing pictures are considered terrorists. People are turned in for saying the wrong things. Its just a hop skip and a jump to a society dominated by secret police and gulags for anyone who makes a wrong move.

The only reason I speak out rather than toe the line and turn my neighbors in is because I am already on the governments list of personas non grata. I have nothing to lose because I am first in line for the detention camps. I will be there to welcome you and laugh in your face because you foolishly believed you were safe.

The judge is no doubt an American terrorist sympathizer (ie supports the brutal military invasion in the name of the fraudulent war of terror).

The neocons have also made a joke of the judiciary, note the no good deed Supreme court. We are to believe the criminal justice system now? You know the criminal system for the poor like Jose and the justice system for the rich, like Enron.

It really makes no difference as to what this man may or may not have done.

Holding this man and torturing him for years, without charging him with a crime, means that any case against him, even if there were one, is invalid, and that the people who should be facing trial, conviction, and sentencing, are the treasonous terrorists that subjected Padilla to this shameful and sub-human treatment.
