This will quite possibly be the litmus for NDAA, the loss of habeus corpus, and the indefinite detention of American citizens without charge, representation or trial.
I wonder how many people who decried all of this will now suddenly be okay with it because "OH MY GOD A TERRORIST!"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Numbah One son, Tamerlan the only one who'd achieved American citizenship status? And he's already dead. That means Numbah Two son, Dzhokhar is NOT an American citizen, so screw him. Interrogate him after they put him under the prison for all I care.Regardless of what was done, every US citizen deserves Constitutional protections once the immediate threat is over. How this joker was granted citizenship is certainly up for discussion, but once granted he's protected or at least should be.
Tim Mcveigh was dispatched with great efficiency without having to send him to Gitmo. The law/courts can deal with this as well.
Edit: Mea Culpa. I had it backwards. The dead one was not an American citizen, Dzhokhar [sic] is. That means he's deserving of full Miranda protections. Anything they do to him, they are saying they can do to any of us native-borns.
