Breaking News: Padilla found Guilty Guilty Guilty

Published by Karl at 12:02 pm under OTA, terrorism

Breaking news from STA:

We’ve all been waiting…and now the verdict has been told. Guilty, guilty, and guilty! All three counts get slammed on him, including the terrorist charge at the top. It won’t be long before we hear the cries of injustice from left field.

Another roundup at Michelle Malkin here.

The actual AP report:

Padilla convicted on terrorism support charges

Jose Padilla was convicted of federal terrorism support charges Thursday after being held for 3 1/2 years as an enemy combatant in a case that came to symbolize the Bush administration’s zeal to stop homegrown terror.

Padilla, a U.S. citizen from Chicago, was once accused of being part of an al-Qaida plot to detonate a radioactive “dirty bomb” in the U.S., but those allegations were not part of his trial.

Padilla, 36, and his foreign-born co-defendants, Adham Amin Hassoun and Kifah Wael Jayyousi, were convicted of conspiracy to murder, kidnap and maim people overseas, which carries a penalty of life in prison. All three were also convicted of two terrorism material support counts, which carry potential 15-year sentences each.

Detailed information and reactions tonight.

    It is the nature of civilization to use energy and it’s the nature of liberalism to feel bad about it.
