and I believe that, as I said the other day:

This is not a trial of Jose Padilla.

It is the continuing trial of the government and the Bush Administration, and more specifically it is a trial of George W. Bush, who leads that government, and of Bush's supporters.

Only from the far side of the looking glass can it be considered a trial of Jose Padilla.

Even if from a strictly legal standpoint Cooke's ruling is right, it is running for cover more than ensuring justice is meted out.

was also a hearing on the competency of the justice system itself.
