(White House says) Boston bombing suspect charged, will not be treated as enemy combatant
FOX news ^ | 4/22/2013 | Staff

Posted on 04/22/2013 10:44:33 AM PDT by CitizenM

The White House said Monday that the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing will not be treated as an enemy combatant, in response to calls from Republican lawmakers to consider that option.

The announcement came as a sealed complaint was filed against suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Fox News has learned that the suspect made an initial appearance in front of a federal magistrate judge at the hospital where he is still being treated. No plea was entered.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the suspect remains in "serious condition" at the hospital.

He’s an American citizen who committed crimes on American soil. He’ll be given a trial in an American court and left to rot (or executed) in an American prison.

The alternative is a “some-citizens-are-more-equal-than-others” system in which fair trials are no longer a right everyone has, but a privilege the government gives to the elite.

Now he can appear before a jury consisting of sympathetic liberal females, tearful that the poor boy was ‘brainwashed’ by his bigger brother and therefore not really responsible for his actions.

Because he is a naturalized American citizen that is why.

Naturalized....It sounds so...Natural! Naturally!

The nice way of saying he's another American hating foreigner from a Muslim country, dumped into our neighborhoods by government.

The entire country will applaud and go back to planning their next cheap Mexican vacation. They do not see how any of this means anything to their own lives.

It is not fascism when the Left does it.

Do you really want to establish a legal precedent that US citizens can be treated as enemy combatants?

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

These gangsters in the Obozo administration are beyond despicable...

Weapons of mass destruction? Are you talking about the pressure cooker bomb that can be built by any average teenager? Treating this kid as an enemy combatant would just make a mockery of the entire war on terror.

yes, via WRKO:
>>BOSTON (AP) — The U.S. Attorney General says the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has been charged with conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction against persons and property resulting in death.

In a statement Monday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder detailed the charge against 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv).

The charge carries a possible death sentence.

Only pro-life prayer warriors, pro-family advocates, and 2nd Amendment supporters are enemy combatants.

I would almost rather tear my tongue out rather than say this but the Urkel administration is correct on this one IMHO.

Then let the blood from IEDs flow.What Obama has done has ASSURED the increase in domestic terror incidents perpetrated by Obama’s fellow immigrants.

Oh yes, whenever Obama can act to increase violence and the destabilization of our civil society, he has done so.

Obama will have gone too far with this. Now Graham and others need to really lay it to Obama. If they do, they will win the public debate.

Yep, I'm sure Obama has a message for her to give to this kid (news libs are calling these terrorists a couple of kids) just as she did to the pretty boy prince. Saudi's are a protected class now, and it looks like also terrorists. Domestics have been for a while, and now foreign.

We have lost it - no wonder we can’t win a war on terrorism, we don’t treat them like terrorists.

I agree with the charge. It doesn’t really matter since he could get the federal death penalty for using an explosive device.

Good. Let’s hang him for treason.

Really, really have mixed emotions on this one. He is a citizen, the crime was committed on US soil, he didn;t fight with a force of America's enemies but he apparently conspired with them which makes him a traitor also.

Ergo he should be tried for treason as well.

The most important thing here however is to extract as much information as possible from him about who turned him and how so we can stop future actions like this.

Naturalization can be revoked. See 8 USC § 1451
