Due Process on Trial at the Supreme Court

Good article about Jose Padilla hearing at the Supreme Court over on CNN.

Also, highlights a mistake I made. In my Quotes article back in July of 2002, I said the precedent used to detain Padilla was when "a group of Polish men secretly entered the US with plans to blow up a factory."

Apparently, the real precendent was "a World War II-era case in which Nazi saboteurs were captured in the United States as a precedent for the president to detain enemy belligerents on American soil," otherwise known as EX PARTE QUIRIN. At least some of the saboteurs were U.S. citizens (which would make more sense to use as a precedent).

I regret the error.
