AS A SIDE BENEFIT TO THE JOSE PADILLA CASE, WE NOW KNOW AL QAIDA HAS IT'S OWN OFFICIAL JOB APPLICATION
Strengthening the administration's claim that Jose Padilla should be held as an enemy combatant and not a criminal suspect, the Bush administration declassified intelligence information regarding Padilla's terrorist activities. Included in the report are meetings between Padilla and top-level al Qaida leaders including
Mohammed Atef ,
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and
Abu Zubaydah as well as
the mujahedin job application Padilla filled out.
If such things are true I have no problem with Padilla sharing the fate of his comrades in a brig instead of in a civilian prison. If however, Padilla wends his way before a civilian judge a treason charge should be added for his troubles.
