Tsarnaev will not be declared an enemy combatant, will be charged in
federal court and read Miranda rights. This is just another example of
how we need to have leaders that are flexible in their comprehension of
this 21st Century battlefield and the application of the rule of law.
This battlefield knows no borders or boundaries and we must develop new
processes and procedures in dealing with American citizens, born and
naturalized, who take up arms, not just overseas, but on American
territory against fellow Americans.
We have two previous cases, Carlos
Bledsoe and MAJ Nidal Hasan, as examples where both attacked and killed
Americans and soldiers, in the name of violent Islamic jihad. The rule
of law and precedent is vital, however, these actions are treasonous and
when they result in the death of Americans, the harshest penalty must
be pursued. These people should be declared enemy combatants (for
intelligence gathering purposes). They deserve the constitutional rights
of a fair trial in the American court system…and then the hangman's
noose.
