Updating on an item from the Blast today, the verdict is in: Jose Padilla has been found guilty of supporting terrorism. Padilla had been accused of being a member of an al Qaeda plot to detonate a dirty bomb, but the jury convicted him of conspiracy to murder, kidnap and maim people overseas in addition to two counts of terrorism material support. Material support of terrorism has a 15 year each sentence and the rest pretty much ensures that Padilla will be behind bars in a federal pound-you-in-the-hindquarters prison for the rest of his natural life. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy... The Associated (with Terrorists) Press has more here if you want more info...
