Tim,
What you do not seem to realize is that Padilla is dead already. What was done to him is called menticide. Even if he were not, to execute someone who has not harmed anyone is monstrous and is evidence that our nation has lost its moral compass.

It sickens me to my core to think about what this man went through. Guilty or “Not Guilty” no human deserves to go through this. And, let us NOT forget that this treatment CONTINUES to happen to others NOW.

As Zoe comments above..

What are We, as a Collective, going to do about it??

Will the Obama/Biden Administration have the will to let him go? They are faced with many decisions such as this. Such as holding the “law makers” of the last 8 years accountable. Do they have the salt? If not, what can we as a citizenry do about it?

If he did conspire to commit terror, then we (US) are foolish not to execute him. Why take the chance that he’ll succeed next time?

After this article was published, I received the following comment from Marsha Respess:

“I am shocked and disgusted at this monstrous travesty of justice. I am just surprised that they didn't give him a life sentence. In a horrible way I hope that he doesn't fully realize what has been done to him. I could never figure out why the media didn't see how the charges against Jose kept on wildly changing at least three different times and the public did not grasp and still does not grasp that if this was done to a U.S. citizen then they too could be subject to unlawful detention and imprisonment.”

Thanks, Marsha.
