Spanish documents or Spanish homework?

When FBI agents went through Brandon Mayfield's possessions to investigate his connection with the Madrid train bombings, they came upon and took what they called "miscellaneous Spanish documents."

The New York Times reported that Mayfield's family later identified the documents as his children's Spanish homework.

Now that Mayfield, an Oregon lawyer, has been released after two weeks in federal prison as a "material witness," now that the FBI has formally apologized to him, it seems he should just drop out of sight, a footnote to the war on terror.

"But for the fact that he had access to counsel and judicial review, Mr. Mayfield might still be in jail today," Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., told Ashcroft in Tuesday's hearing. "Held as an enemy combatant, Mr. Mayfield would be in a military jail without the right to an attorney. And his truthful statements of innocence would be taken simply as failure of his interrogators."

And his truthful statements of innocence would be taken simply as failure of his interrogators.

Nothing unleashing a pack of snarling, rabid dogs on him wouldn't fix in a hurry, I'm sure. </sarcsm>
