I think it's because they don't have the goods, and I think they're nakedly trying to influence the SC decision by releasing their alleged "new information" now.

Untrustworthy scum.

1. I didn't think about
the pending SC decisions........that's probably what this is really all about.

Good guess/call.

2. DOJ can not used confession obtained by torture
At the very minimum, Padilla's Miranda rights have been violated by denying him access to a lawyer during questioning. Any confession obtained during such questioning would not be admissible.
