re: #8 Charles

Yes, that was his excuse — he was thinking of Padilla. Except that Padilla wasn’t arrested on an airplane.

Anyway, if this is true, it actually makes his case even weaker, because Padilla was eventually tried and pleaded guilty in a civilian court and is now serving a long prison sentence.

Indeed which is why I wrote, that if he wasn’t lying, he was at least a partisan hack with little regard for the truth.
