"Dirty bomb" terrorist defendant Jose Padilla was sentenced to 17 years and four months in prison today. U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke departed downward from sentencing guidelines that ranged from 30 years to life. Padilla and co-defendants Adham Amin Hassoun and Kifah Wael Jayyousi will most likely have their prison sentences reduced even more when they are credited with time served during pretrial detentions and for good behavior. Hassoun and Jayyousi were sentenced to 15 years and eight months and 12 years and eight months respectively.
The courts are the least effective venues to fight terrorism.
