Ah, guilty until proven innocent. Only you can't prove your innocence
because you have been locked up for three years, without charges, without
council, without . . . Quite the new Amerika you are working on there,
NOYB.

There have been thousands of alleged "enemy combatants" freed from
Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib once military intelligence and/or tribunals have
deemed that they are no longer a threat. And I have faith that the military
system of justice will provide adequate protections for the truly innocent.
But folks like Padilla are mutant scum with no hope for rehabilitation...and
detaining him indefinitely is the best way to prevent him from ever again
participating in battle against the US.





There was no way to fight a successful war against terrorism through our
court system. The enemy knew this, and that's precisely why they were so
successful in waging war against us without any repercussions against
them. All of that changed after 9/11 with Bush as President.
