PADILLA CHARGED: There years after being detained. I like this detail:
An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.
I have no brief for Padilla or any other al Qaeda mass-murderers. But he is an American citizen, presumed innocent, and it took the government three years even to charge him. Anyone who cares about liberty - which obviously does not include many members of the Bush administration, should be appalled by what has occurred and what it means for the future of freedom in this country."
