Darkness at noon

Indefensible. Barbarous. Beyond sickening.

All of the slides from the video capture filed in federal court can be found here.

It's important to understand that these pictures provide only a glimpse of Mr. Padilla's living conditions. Read the whole NYT story and place yourself in the shoes of this man who guards say behaves more like a "piece of furniture" than a human being.

Imagine this life. The man hasn't even been tried yet, and would be held under much better conditions if he had not been labeled an enemy combatant by the Administration (as opposed to the conditions seen here, or even state or federal prison). Padilla faces two charges that each only carry a maximum of fifteen years.
