Very good. And since you know so much about him...

I actually don't know that much about him.....but it really wasn't that hard, if you look at the name of the image, it was "jose-padilla.jpg". A quick google query tells me he was tried and convicted for being a terrorist.
That he spent 3 years locked up awaiting a trial makes it understandable that some folks would mistakenly believe he was never afforded one....but in the end, habeas corpus prevailed, and I don't really have much sympathy for a terrorist in the first place.
In short, I don't think he was "just anyone", nor did he get innocently plucked from the streets while going about his business and then wrongfully detained.
And more to the original point, he was most certainly provided a trial. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
