“We do not read POWs their rights.”
And for good reason - POWs (enemy combatants meeting certain qualifications) are protected under the Geneva Conventions.

Full Disclosure: I do not condone the actions of the Brothers Tsarnaev. They are heinous, repugnant, and fully deserving of the maximum punishment under the law. I am, however, sworn to support and defend the Constitution - whether or not I personally agree with the outcome. It could be one of us in the next round.
