I''m sure we all feel safer now this "dangerous terrorist" is behind bars, give me a break, how stupid do they think we are. This guy is taking the fall for a failed strategy on terrorism.

What a joke.

This guy is the poster child for Bush''s failed "war on terrorism".

A petty criminal with a big mouth who should have been dismissed as a "terrorist" 3 years ago - but Americans needed a patsy to direct their anger toward so our government supplied one.

Worse yet, the prosecution was so political, dishonest and unethical in this that we would have been better served if the the prosecutors and judges involved were sentenced to 17 years - not this nobody Padilla. We''d be a hell of a lot safer with them in prison than with him.

"Padilla, a former Chicago gang member with a long criminal record, converted to Islam in prison"

Just the kind of ZERO they''re looking for.
