Quote of the Day from the New York Times (and story link) on the Padilla guilty verdict:

This demonstrates, at least for now, that the United States is fully capable of prosecuting terrorism while affording defendants the full procedural protections of the Constitution.

MICHAEL GREENBERGER, who teaches terrorism law at the University of Maryland law school, on the conviction of Jose Padilla.

Only a free people, governed by the rule of law, can hope to negotiate with their fellows the most productive, efficient, effective and fair terms and conditions of their work, their love, and their play. 

Those are today's thoughts from the intersection of Hawaii and the Internet News.
