Jose Padilla lit up a stogie and was nailed for contemplating arson. Have I written something that could easily be misconstrued by a jury of my peers?
Garrison Keillor’s comment on this matter refects my views exactly. Mr. Padilla was the first American citizen arrested on American soil and on orders of the President held in indefinite detention without any access to the legal system. How many Americans will be treated the same in the future?
