After sitting in legal limbo for over 3 years for conspiring to activate a "dirty bomb", Padilla is now making his way into the court system and surprise, surprise, the actual facts seem to be a bit slim. The federal judge has had the audacity to ask for more then the word of federal prosecutors and his royal heinous George II who would prefer a kangaroo court system where every day is a success and stupid details like facts are forgotten.
If these people are in fact guilty of conspiring against the US, sure, throw the book at them and send them to prison but this tired act of factless cases, legal limbo and disrespect for the American Constitution and American values is really old.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke said Tuesday she agreed with claims made by defense attorneys that the indictment against Padilla and the others is "very light on facts" that would link the defendants to specific acts of terrorism or victims."We are so shooting in the dark," said Jeanne Baker, one of the attorneys representing defendant Adham Amin Hassoun. "The government has to tell us, what are these acts they conspired to commit?"
