Yesterday, Supreme Court justices heard arguments in the cases of Jose Padilla and Yaser Hamdi, U.S. citizens who have been detained in a South Carolina prison without counsel or formal criminal charges for two years. While Hamdi was captured by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, Padilla was arrested on American soil. And though Padilla has been accused of trying to build a “dirty” bomb, the government’s inability to dredge up enough evidence to actually charge the man shows just how arbitrary his detention has been...
...here are the facts: Mike Mussina, shelled again last night, is very, very wrong. Jose Contreras should fear for his life if he loses today against Oakland. Vazquez gives up a lot of home runs, which is a big problem in close games. The team doesn’t even have a fifth starter at this point. And Mariano Rivera looks more and more hittable each year. He’s off to a good start...
...seven-game series, who would you take? Pedro, Schilling and Lowe or Mussina, Brown and Vazquez? You have to go with the former.

It rhymes with “Shmankees Mullpen...
...bizarro world here? Since when are Yankees pitchers psyched out by Boston? Jose, your team is the good one, remember? The one that doesn’t fold under the pressure. Theo didn’t end up signing you, buddy. You’re a New York Yankee. You’re supposed to be at your best against the Red Sox (see Ramiro Mendoza). Where is Mendoza, by the way? I’m convinced that if he and Kim come off the DL, the Red Sox will find their way back to second place in no time...
...review, helping blunt criticism that prisoners are being held in total legal limbo. Officials have also formally charged two captives in preparation for the first military tribunals, suggesting some due process is on the horizon. Several captives in Guantanamo have met with lawyers, as have Yaser Esam Hamdi and Jose Padilla, two U.S. citizens held as enemy combatants in South Carolina. Their cases are set to be heard next week. Administration critics still say the legal handling of terrorism suspects amounts to a constitutional coup. Bush's lawyers, however, only need to worry about winning over five of the court...
