Padilla

This

is inexcusible.

I speak in pretty simple terms. The Government ran a foul of habeas corpus rights and held a man in a military brig indefinitely. He was held without charge. I dont know if Padilla is guilty or innocent but a federal judge has said the charges of conspiracy are unsubstantiated.

Because of the fact that Padilla was kept in solitary confinement he has now gone insane. Torture changes the way someone acts.

Personally, I hold the Government to a little higher standard than this.
