Jose Padilla Finally Charged

I've written about the Jose Padilla case before, arguing that the government should charge him with a crime if they believe he did something wrong. Faced with the threat that the Supreme Court might rule against their "enemy combatant" strategy, they finally moved him to a civilian prison and charged him with conspiracy to murder, kidnap and maim.
I've said all along that he's not a good guy, but that he deserves his day in court. I'm glad to see he will finally get it after three years of being locked up incommunicado in a military brig.
