#1 John Paul Stevens - Mysterious stranger in this case. Welcome to sanity, Mr Justice.

#2 No surprise here - as an alleged memeber of an organized minor group, as opposed to being a regular soldier in the armed forces of a trad or diplomatically recognized sovereign nation, the core issue is whether Mr. Padilla as a US citizen had permanently relinquished his citizenship when he fought agz US milfors in Afghanistan, and how long the Army can keep him in jail before transference to American civilian authorities. As an Amer citizen, and in the absence of a formal declaration of war against a sovereign power by the Congress, he must inevitably be transferred to US civilian authority. In any case, Padilla's is most likely jailmeat anyways becuz the Army is usually very thorough about sny investigation into the MILITARY/MIL-RELATED aspect of Padilla's conduct, i.e. will NOT release Padilla until Padilla gives up the ghost/full monty on his role and actions. Ironically, Padilla is lucky becuz iff he weren't a US citizen, the Army can poten hold him forever, until such time the Army is satisfied of his role and that he is no longer of any threat to the Amer people after his release - until then, only an act of Congress can release/waiver his butt.

#6 Wishfull thinking. GWB and the Pubs are wringing their hands cause they fear the pain of staged outrage over executing the traitor. Just announce the time and place of the dude's release and let the public [sort of] vote.

#7 this "news article" reads like a snarky blog post rather than news.

Sharply split,
Six justices were apparently persuaded, at least for the time being

*snicker* As the bloggers get better at reporting, the reporters get worse.
