Feds Exaggerated Padilla Case? - CBS

[dArKeR]

The "dirty bomb" allegedly planned by terror suspect Jose Padilla would have been a dud, not the radiological threat portrayed last week by federal authorities, scientists say.

At a June 1 news conference, the Justice Department said the alleged al Qaeda associate hoped to attack Americans by detonating "uranium wrapped with explosives" in order to spread radioactivity.

But uranium's extremely low radioactivity is harmless compared with high-radiation materials — such as cesium and cobalt isotopes used in medicine and industry that experts see as potential dirty bomb fuels.

You mean the aWol Adm. was using the death of 9/11 for political gain? You mean he was really going to donate his Taco Bell POVERTY wages to the poor?

To guess what might have happened here. Bush orders the sever torture of Afghans. They are in such pain and innocent they start making stuff up just to give the American soldiers/American Contractor torturers some infomation to make them stop. I am sure I've seen reports in the past, by GOP Whore's and moral Americans as well, that a person under torture will make up things if they don't know anything just to the torturers something to make them stop. But the shows I vaguely remember were about Africa, Central America, Vietnam or Korea.

1. Finally heard Padilla's side of this story

He says he cooked up the dirty bomb story and the apartment bombing story so that he could get away from al Qaeda.

A couple of ways to take that story...

1. Convienent excuse cooked up after he was caught.

2. The truth.

3. Cover for an intelligence agent who now needs protective custody.

Wonder which one's correct?

2. Does it really matter. It's just another fuck-up by AG Assclown.

That Torquemada wannabee can't kick a duck in the ass unless he stands on a brick, and more than 50% of the time, he'd miss the mark anyway.
