THE PADILLA STORY STINKS!
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0601042padilla6.html

Ok, so here on smoking gun, the FBI goes into EXQUISITE DETAIL about how padilla plotted this, and padilla plotted that, then, on the second to last page, the footnote says that padilla DENIES IT ALL.

Give me a fukcing break.

1. This is Orwell's worst nightmare
Watch while tens of millions of Americans watch their precious liberties flushed down the toilet, and fail miserably to give a shit, addled as they are with concerns about where to obtain their next meal, or which shiny new SUV to buy...

2. they can make up whatever the hell they want about Padilla
He has been "disappeared". They can make him into whatever boogeyman fits their needs.

Why anybody would believe anything they say about Padilla is beyond me.

WHY DOES THE MEDIA PLAY ALONG WITH THIS?

4. Some agent or another bragged that the
CIA has a mole in every major media outlet in this country.

Not saying it's true, but it sure would explain a hell of a lot!

3. They can make any claims they want.
He's still an American citizen. You can bet, though, if they could erase that part they damn surely would. My BS radar is beeping.

15. The spokesasshole who announced this for Justice
was very proud that they had successfully circumvented those nasty protections against self-incrimination and rights to an attorney and stuff like that. Absolutely glowing with the achievement of destroying the American constitution over a thought crime.

7. well their last "terrorist" scare didn't work, so .....
now they can put a face on it. Here's the bogeyman who wanted to blow up your apartment building and poison you with radiation.

But we caught him! You're safe with us!

:eyes:

6. Padilla struck me as having an eerie resemblance
to John Doe #2, the guy who rented the truck with Timothy McVeigh. If this is the case, it would certainly explain why fundy Asscrock and fundy Bush want to keep him out of sight and out of mind for as long as possible, as he would provide the link we know exists between white power fundy Christian anti-Jewish nutbags and terrorists in the middle east. This link has been documented already in Germany. Can you imagine the uproar were it to be documented in the US?

(removing colander hat, coming back to earth, Padilla is either a dirty bomb manufacturer or an ordinary gangsta caught by the evil Feds)

12. "documented in the US?"
It's pretty well documented here in the U.S. also but I wonder if anything more will ever come out about it. Maybe if the 911 Commission starts to sniff something good then the Oklahoma City/Gorelick connection will all of a sudden become important.

8. Jose? I thought you meant Ben.
BILL HEMMER, ANCHOR: Now to a large mystery, an airline sized jet stole stolen from an airport in Africa. It's been missing for more than a month. Is it just criminal activity or is it terrorism?
News reports say that Ben Charles Padilla was at the controls when the Boeing 727 took off suddenly from the Luanda Airport in Angola on November 25. Neither the FBI nor the State Department will confirm that, however.
With us today to talk about it, live from Pensacola, Florida, Ben Padilla's sister and brother, Benita Padilla Kirkwood and Joe Padilla.
Thanks for your time in joining us this morning.

BENITA PADILLA KIRKWOOD, BEN PADILLA'S SISTER: Thank you.

HEMMER: Was your brother capable of flying and piloting a 727?

JOE PADILLA, BEN PADILLA'S BROTHER: Well, from what we understand he wasn't licensed to fly a plane this large.
http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0306/24/ltm.15.html

The FBI is interested in locating Padilla, as he may have information as to the whereabouts of the plane.

11. Ashcroft emits an aroma that is beyond description
...and the closer one gets to junior the stench worsens.

13. What happened to the dirty bomb plot they arrested him for?
I just heard on the news that this plot is to blow up buildings by using their gas lines?

And Padilla had accomplices to help him? Cause I don't quite get how this would work.

14. Question about the "aluminum plates:" How big?
I'm picturing them being brought in and applied to the building without the maintainance staff saying boo.

These ideas seem both theoretical and really crappy.

16. On page 4, the "senior al qaeda detainee #2" says.....
Padilla and the Accomplice "did not commit to the apartment bombing mission, so KSM was unsure what operation they would finally pursue in the United States."

So both Padilla and the tortured "sources" claim it was a no go?

I want documentation on Padilla's treatment. Day by day, hour by hour.
