GOVERNMENT TERROR CONVICTION IS TROUBLING
By Schuyler ThorpeAuthor and Political Activist
Nothing could be far from the truth in the conviction of Jose Padilla–a U.S. born citizen.
The government sought to paint him as a “star recruit” in Al-Qaeda’s drive to build a secret terror cell within the United States and detonate a “radiological” dirty bomb–all at the same time.
But where was the proof of such convictions?
Was Padilla actually the terrorist they painted him to be? And why did they hide him away for years without ever trying him in the first place? And was this man grossly tortured into making a false confession?
People, the proof is in the pudding: The government does not want to appear soft on terrorism!
Much like the fake terror plots, our own government is actively engaged in the worse crime imaginable right under our very noses…
Convicting innocent people for crimes that don’t exist!
Who can say exactly what Jose did in the Middle East. Perhaps he was studying and helping with humanitarian relief efforts as he claimed. But the government never saw that to be the truth.
Or wanted it to.
Instead, they fabricated false claims that Jose was a true terrorist, was going to blow up apartments with natural gas and then detonate a “dirty bomb” somewhere in the United States.
They held him against his will, tortured him so bad that he became mentally deficient to the eyes of those whom knew him personally, and to make things worse?
He was an American citizen detained illegally on his own country’s soil–by his own country’s government!
How much is one man’s life worth in order to keep the Bush administration's little-held secret of torture and illegal detention without trial, evidence, or charge–going?
Is this what America stands for?
