	CNN.com - Transcript of news conference on Jose Padilla - Jun 1, 2004
		Padilla says he went to the camp with the understanding that he would be sent to Chechnya to fight for jihad, although he recognized that the recruits of al Qaeda were offered no guarantees.
		Padilla says it was at the place in Faisalabad that he and a new accomplice, a new partner, approached Abu Zubaida with an operation in which they proposed to travel to the United States to detonate a nuclear improvised bomb that they had learned to make from research on the Internet.
		Padilla was arrested by the FBI in Chicago on a material witness warrant authorized by a federal judge in New York.

	TIME.com: Person of the Week: Jose Padilla -- Page 1
		Padilla entered public life via an announcement from Moscow on Monday, by Attorney General John Ashcroft, that an al-Qaeda operative had been captured at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, en route to contaminate a U.S. city with a radiological bomb.
		Padilla, a U.S. citizen, was being held in a Navy brig as an "enemy combatant," but also why he was dominating America's headlines — and its nightmares.
		And what has almost certainly been lost in the cacophony of a news week dominated by Jose Padilla, is the recognition that a major blow has been struck against al-Qaeda — in far-off Morocco.

		WASHINGTON – Former Chicago gang member Jose Padilla is a trained terrorist who met with top al-Qaeda leaders, discussed detonating a nuclear bomb in the United States and accepted an assignment to use natural gas to blow up high-rise apartment buildings, the Justice Department alleged Tuesday.
		The disclosure by Deputy Attorney General James Comey, based on interrogations with Padilla and other suspected al-Qaeda operatives, came two years after the arrest of the suspected "dirty bomber." It was meant to answer criticism that the government overreached in arresting a U.S. citizen and denying him normal access to the court system.
		Jose Padilla, a former Chicago gang member held as a terrorism suspect for two years, sought to blow up hotels and apartment buildings in the United States, authorities say.

	Jose Padilla
		The recent appeals court decision in the case of Jose Padilla, which okays the right of the government to imprison an American citizen, indefinitely, without ever formally charging or trying that person, is a judicial omen that should mark the death knell of the Constitution.
		Jose Padilla, who has been in U.S. custody for over three years, was initially held on charges that he plotted with al-Qaeda to detonate a so-called "dirty bomb" (one wonders, is there ever a 'clean' one?).
		Padilla's arrest came at a time when the U.S. Justice Dept., which had dropped the ball on 9-11, was busting people, especially those of Arab descent, on any conceivable charge, many of which have fallen apart in the years since 9-11.

	Law.com - Government Argues Jose Padilla Has Few Rights
		Arguments over the detention of Padilla, who allegedly re-entered the United States last year to pursue a plot to obtain and explode a radiological, or "dirty bomb," are now expected to be heard by the 2nd Circuit sometime this fall.
		They argue that the interrogation of Padilla to learn more about al-Qaida is being conducted in a manner that "shock[s] the conscience." The due process guarantee of the Fifth Amendment, as well as the Sixth Amendment, give Padilla the right to counsel and to challenge his imprisonment in an adversary proceeding, they argue.
		Padilla, prosecutors emphasize, has no right to counsel because "he is being detained under the laws of war rather than under the domestic criminal laws."
