Jose Padilla met with his
lawyers for the first time since being locked up without charges in
June 2002. His lawyers, Andrew Patel and Donna Newman, met for about
three hours at the Navy brig in Charleston with Mr. Padilla, who is
accused of plotting with Al Qaeda to detonate a radioactive "dirty
bomb." Mr. Patel said they mainly gave Mr. Padilla news of his family
and did not discuss his case because the government was closely
monitoring the meeting.
