Another Padilla Update

I'm probably the only one who finds this interesting, especially since the story was not on the front page of the paper, but tucked away on page 2 today. Anyway, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday expressed skepticism at approving Jose Padilla's transfer to the Justice Department. As I previously mentioned, Jose Padilla was held for three years in a military brig under the "enemy combatant" rules, accused of plotting to detonate a dirty bomb in the US. Recently, he was charged in a civilian court when it became clear that the Supreme Court might rule that the administration couldn't do stuff like that. But the charges had nothing to do with dirty bombs. The appeals court is now asking why "the different facts that were alleged by the President to warrant Padilla's military detention" are so different from "the alleged facts on which Padilla has now been indicted."
The plot thickens.
