Did WE destroy Padilla?
What does America do IF it turns out that Padilla, A US citizen, is a shattered man, after nearly four years, without charges? I'm perfectly willing to shoot the guilty myself, but just when did the US Constitution say that mind shattering treatment is permissibale to gather evidence to justify convicion? And since when were coerced and forced admissions allowed as evidence, in ANY US court- even military courts? We will NEVER know if the guy IS guilty of ANYTHING. He probably is, but that isn't supposed to be enough in America. Unless we ALL enjoy constitutional rights, none of us do. Does the Constitution mean what it says? Or, is it for everybody except Jose Padilla?
