Padilla ... On To Appeals

Despite the government having purposely set out to destroy this man's mind (and openly admitting it during the trial), and despite a lousy case against the guy on some vague jihad charges, Jose Padilla has been found guilty.

It's a sham on our justice system. Digby tells us why better than I ever could. This baby will go to the Supreme's where they'll have a further chance to validate torturing American citizens as an appropriate law enforcement technique. Scalia will probably recommend the teevee show "24" as a template for training our local law enforcement oskifers.
