Judge Says Feds Short on Evidence in Jose Padilla Case
The Florida federal terrorism case against Jose Padilla, the American-born so-called "dirty bomber" held for four years in a South Carolina military brig without charges or access to counsel, is floundering.
A federal judge has expressed doubts about the strength of the government's terror conspiracy case against Jose Padilla and others, ordering prosecutors to provide more evidence of alleged violent activities overseas. ....[The Judge] says the case against him appears ``very light on facts.''
Curiously, the Florida Sun Sentinel and the AP don't even mention this in their reports of yesterday's hearing.
