PADILLA TO STAY IN THE BRIG
Good. A win for us on the war, a loss for terrorists and the ACLU that defends them.
A federal appeals court Friday sided with the Bush administration and reversed a judge's order that the government charge or free "dirty bomb" suspect Jose Padilla.A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the president has the authority to detain a U.S. citizen closely associated with al Qaida.
Of course he does. Congress explicitly gave him that authority shortly after 9-11.
