Description: Highlights two cases: the case of Zacharias Moussaoui, a French citizen arrested on immigration violations, who is accused of being involved in planning the September 11 terrorist attacks, and the case of Jose Padilla, a U.S. citizen held as an enemy combatant for his alleged plan to detonate a dirty bomb. The program poses the question: was the U.S. judicial process sidestepped in these cases by the Bush administration in the interests of the War on Terror?
Notes: Originally broadcast as a segment of the television program Nightline on Jan. 9, 2004.
