Here is a fine example of how our sick, bought and paid for whoremedia distorts and deceives.
Dirty bomb suspect Padilla's plea hearing postponed.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060107/us_nm/security_padilla_dc;_ylt=Au7l9WLNxlKbC8KaPk26zoqs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3MjBwMWtkBHNlYwM3MTg-"MIAMI (Reuters) - A U.S. judge postponed a plea and bail hearing on Friday for American terrorism suspect Jose Padilla, who made his second appearance in a federal court after being held for 3-1/2 years in a military brig without charges.
Called an "enemy combatant" by the Bush administration and alleged to have plotted a radioactive "dirty bomb" attack on his homeland, Padilla was denied access to the U.S. justice system in a case that led rights activists and some lawmakers to question President George W. Bush's power to detain U.S. citizens."
So what is wrong with this story? Well what would you guess are the charges that have been brought against one Jose Padilla? Something to do with a 'dirty bomb' right? Wrong. Mr. Padilla, as you might learn if you struggled on to paragraph six of this piece of bullshit, is charge with nothing of the sort:
"But the indictment makes no mention of the administration's allegations that Padilla plotted with al Qaeda to set off a dirty bomb in the United States and to blow up apartment buildings -- charges used to justify his detention in a military brig for more than three years."
Oh. He's sure to get a fair trial, don't you think?
