Law and not leaders guides on Padilla case ruling
A three judge Second Circuit panel ruled President Bush cannot detain American citizen Jose Padilla without charges. The court ordered his release within 30 days from the Charleston brig, while allowing possible transfer to civilian authorities for charges. The decision contrasts with Hamdi's detention and sets up a Supreme Court clash over wartime rights.

Afghanistan road ribbon highlights fragile rebuild in war-torn nation
President Karzai cut a ribbon on the Kabul to Kandahar road, a 300 mile span once 30 hours by road now slated for six hours, symbolizing progress but underscored by persistent Taliban threats and heavy foreign aid dependence. Despite pledges of billions, disbursements lag as security risks delay projects and aid is unevenly spent, with U.N. and U.S. calls for more troops and a fresh donors conference to sustain reconstruction.
