The Jose Padilla Case: Screenplay by Mel Brooks
Uruknet
Excerpt:
Padilla never did anything wrong. He’s just a victim of circumstance—an unwitting lab-rat in Bush’s grand strategy to repeal the constitution. In 5 years the government hasn’t come up with a shred of evidence that connects him to ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. Nothing! The charges are completely bogus— even the government attorneys know it. That’s why they coerced the judge into letting them “play parts of an old television interview with Osama bin Laden” in court last week. It’s just another sign of their complete desperation.
My God, is that the best the “multi-million dollar” prosecution can come up with after 5 years— “grainy old bin Laden tapes?
Pathetic!
The judge never should have allowed such prejudicial gibberish to be entered into the record. Padilla’s connection to al Qaida is purely speculative. It’s probably just more Bush bunkum.
Last week the government’s case began to unravel when FBI Special agent James T. Kavanaugh revealed that “Padilla was never overheard using purported ‘code words’ for violent jihad in intercepted telephone conversations”.
Really? So that was a lie, too!

I can’t wait for the day when people like you no longer exist and disappear from the planet. You’re just like pollution or some kind of germ. You serve no purpose but to comment on issues that you have no comprehension of, thus making yourself a stupid ass I don’t know what.

It’s not Bush that is prosecuting Padilla, it’s whatever AUSA was assigned the case. As to evidence, that’s what a jury is there to evaluate. Padilla has a better chance at a completely fair, neutral trial in US District Court than anywhere else. If he’s guilty, he’s guilty; if not, then not. This is either a country that runs under the rule of law or not, and right now Padilla is finding out what the rule of law is all about.
