The law of the land says that Padilla is and can be classified an enemy combatant and held until hostilities cease. That you are unaware of that fact concerns me but not too much.

Thank you. That is the point I've been trying to make. Because Padilla can be classified as a combantant then the exception layed out in the fifth amendment aplies and therefore Padilla is not entitled to the rights layed out in the amendment.
