getting back to the other issues in your post, they have been well-documented kidnappings of Canadian and German citizens, which does not strike me as OK either. However, googling "extraordinary rendition american citizens" turns up numerous hits, most of them highly relevant. Padilla is not a nice guy, perhaps, but the government shouldhave to prove a case against him, because what if they are wrong?
I mean, look at this case: http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1063212087029 http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=15120 Here's a guy whose "ties to al-Qaeda" were apparently that he served lunch to a couple of the 9-11 hijackers... he was held in federal custody for months and the case is apparently still sealed (!!??!!) And that's ok because he is not an American citizen? >Padilla is a US citizen and is still in this country, and his case was heard >in many courts.
