abu gonzales and padilla

* "By indicting Padilla now, The Bush Administration moots Padilla's appeal to the Supreme Court. It also leaves standing the Fourth Circuit's decision in the Padilla case, which broadly upheld the President's power to detain U.S. citizens like Padilla as unlawful combatants. " (link)
they are so evil. if only they could put their 'cleverness' to good purposes... i wont hold my breath.

* btw - im not sure who made the worse padilla announcement - was it ashcroft in moscow? james comey's "gas attack" nonsense? or abu gonzales latest nonsense?

* tom maguire argues that " (Novak's) column was widely ignored until David Corn promoted it on July 16." (link)
im not sure that is true - but it would make an interesting twist.
