Maybe I am missing something here but Padilla is a citizen with constitutional rights. Yes, we are a "war." But the Libertarian in me is very concerned when a citizen can be held indefinitely.

Our constitutional rights are more important than our security any day (IMHO). The right to meet with one's lawyer, right to a speedy trial, right to be charged,....

Note: this doesn't apply to those held in Gitmo.

Yes, he needs to be charged as a traitor and hanged. Osama is an enemy, but this guy is a traitor... worse than an enemy. And our enemies would like nothing better than to spread how to make dirty bombs across our country.

So, if this traitor knows how to spread that knowledge, he, in himself, is a dirty bomb and must be contained and disposed of properly.

If you have a way of doing that safely, we would like to hear it.

You are right...you have the right to be murdered by terrorists.
