1 Holding him in solitary isn't outrageous.

ALL suspected and convicted terrorists should be held in solitary confinement. Especially so in light of how Islam is spreading like wildfire throughout America's prison populations. Islamists represent one of the single most dangerous breeds of psychopath in history.

How it is possible for the defense to seek curbs upon free speech in a court of law stands as conduct worthy of censure. It is as if they seek to ban the word "steal" at a thief's trial. Padilla has already been charged with unrelated terrorist activity and the fact that a pattern of conduct is emerging more than justifies describing him as a terrorist. Jeanne Baker must have apprenticed under Lynne Stewart.

4 Its not what they call Padilla, its the facts. If the jury begins to say, "That kinda stuff ain't gonna happen in my neighborhood," or, "I don't want that happening around here" then bad boy Padilla is going down. Show'em the facts,and the jurors' bullsh*t detectors will allow them to smell it out.

5 That's as may be, whatadeal, but this issue is far more important than the actual outcome of this single trial. Under no circumstances should it be permissible to "sanitize" the prosecuting bench's accusatory language in such a crippling fashion. This is Politically Correct Newspeak and it must be slapped down, and slapped down HARD, for the legal balderdash it is.

PS: Back atcha' Ip.

6 OK, how about "morally challenged"?

7 Why don't we just ban the word criminal or crime or justice.
