In a blow to the Bush Administration which sought a life sentence, a Miami federal judge today sentenced Jose Padilla to 17 years, 4 months.
The judge factored in Padilla's "harsh" sentencing conditions.
'I do find the [prison] conditions were so harsh that they warranted conditions for sentencing in this case,'' Cooke told a crowded courtroom of attorneys, family members and media.

Padilla is already dead from the torture done by the US. Now he was used for the White House to push the terrorist idea. When all the information comes out the US, jurors and everyone will have to face the fact we killed an innocent man. But the US does that all the time anyway. Our DOJ was corrupt the day Bush was sworn in. Only a few honest lawyers are left and some of been fired for not following the corruption policy set by the White House.
