....Americans will rue thew day they began this love affair with the police...all police...they'll live to regret it when police powers extend over their yet to be born children and grandchildren...when people will be on the look-out for "terror" and then non-conformist behavior...even if the norm for conformity will include tatoos, and nails in the head...on that day the ability to breathe free...to ask questions...to refuse to participate...to think for yourself will all come under police scrutiny...and the case of Jose Padilla will have marked a turning point on that road to the most sophisticated and happiest Police State yet.

US terror interrogation went too far, experts say By Warren Richey

Miami - Jose Padilla had no history of mental illness when President Bush ordered him detained in 2002 as a suspected Al Qaeda operative. But he does now.

The Muslim convert was subjected to prison conditions and interrogation techniques that took him past the breaking point, mental health experts say.

Two psychiatrists and a psychologist who conducted detailed personal examinations of Mr. Padilla on behalf of his defense lawyers say his extended detention and interrogation at the US Naval Consolidated Brig in Charleston, S.C., left him with severe mental disabilities. All three say he may never recover.

Padilla's psychological condition is important because his situation marks the first time an enemy combatant in the war on terror is in a position to present a verifiable claim of abuse at the hands of US interrogators. Padilla's mental health itself is a form of evidence, mental-health experts say, and it strongly suggests that – at least in Padilla's case – the government's harsh interrogation and confinement tactics went too far.

..there was never a case against him...he was no doubt set up by informants...given a video camera and told to film military bases..and then they arrested him. The government hasn't dared bring him to trial because they know they have no evidence and would even be seen as criminal themselves in what they did to this man..had they the SLIGHTEST shred of evidence they woulds have RUSHED to show the public...but in this mood of hysteria there doesn't need to be proof of anything, not of WMDs and not of crimes actually committed...remember, they can now have pre-emptive wars and arrests too... he was the poster child for home-grown, though still "foreign" terrorists operating under your bed...he served his purpose and now he's too crazy to be believed...another success for Bush.
