Padilla

So when Ashcroft held that news conference in Russia, of all places, to announce they had foiled a "dirty bomb" plot, apparently they didn't have much of a case. And when they changed their story last year to accuse him of plotting to blow up apartment buildings with natural-gas leaks they seem not to have had much evidence. Because now, having charged him to avoid the prospect of arguing before the Supreme Court that they should be able to imprison Americans indefinitely without charge, he's not accused of any of that stuff. It'll be interesting, when and if he goes to trial, to see what evidence they present. But don't they have some "speedy trial" issues?
