August 16, 2007 5:40 PM Two words the jury did not hear were "dirty bomb." Nor did the panel hear about a scheme to blow up apartment buildings by tapping into their natural gas lines. Instead, after a three-month trial, Jose Padilla, stands guilty of conspiring with others before 9/11 to carry out and support terrorist acts overseas.

Whatever went on inside the Charleston, South Carolina, naval brig while alleged al Qaeda operative Jose Padilla was detained there for three-and-half years, one incredible fact is that the U.S. military videotaped so much of it.
That stunning revelation came out this week at the end of a federal court hearing to assess Padilla's mental fitness to stand trial. In Charleston, it turns out Padilla was videotaped in his cell 24/7, was videotaped taking showers, and taped as guards escorted him from his cell, handcuffed and shackled, even to visit a dentist. Not only that, Padilla was videotaped for hundreds of hours while he was interrogated. The FBI, which normally investigates terrorism suspects, has a policy never to videotape or audiotape its interviews.
