Actually Will the reason he wasn't charged with the dirty bomb allegations was because the information was recieved when Padilla was without counsel, making it moot and inadmissable. Oh my god that smells like constitutional protection to me!
The reason he was held for so long was without charge was because A) this was a matter of national security and B) the courts allowed for it because of the ongoing challenges and injuctions being filed by Padilla and the DOJ. Furthermore all of this was upheld by the 4th circuit court of appeals.
