of understanding what this trial is about and who, in the eyes of the world it is a trial of, that alone should make it clear to them that Padilla cannot understand it and is therefore incapable of assisting in his own defence. Particularly in light of that fact that he believes that his own defence lawyers are part of ongoing inerrogation and mistreatment of him by the government:
One of Padilla's lawyers, Andrew Patel, testified earlier in the day that he has been involved with Padilla since 2002 and has never been able to get meaningful information out of him. Patel also said that Padilla seems to think his lawyers are part of a government plot against him.

"He has expounded the belief that we are part of the continuing interrogation," Patel said.
Edger, Padilla is getting due process. (none / 0) (#6)

That's all. Nothing more or less.

You oviously want to turn it into a trial over his alleged treatment.

You're not getting what you want.
