A judge is finally allowing Jose Padilla access to an attorney. For those who don't remember, the FBI arrested Padilla for plotting to set off a "dirty bomb" in the U.S. as part of an al-Qaeda attack.
The Feds quickly decided that he was an "unlawful enemy combatant" despite the fact that Padilla wa apprehended in the United States and is a citizen. You can expect more of that type of thing if the now ifmanous Pattriot II ever becomes law.
