Enemy Combatant Allowed First Visit By Attorneys

Jose Padilla was allowed to meet with his attorneys for the first time since he was declared an enemy combatant nearly two years ago for allegedly plotting to set off a dirty bomb.

His attorneys said they could not talk about his case because the conversation was being monitored and recorded by Naval officials.
