The Boston Marathon bombing suspect captured Friday night will not be immediately read his Miranda rights, a Justice Department official said.
The announcement came as a debate broke out among lawmakers, lawyers and political activists over whether the suspect, Dzhokar Tsarnaev, should be prosecuted in a civilian criminal court or subjected to military interrogation and over when and whether Tsarnaev should be told about his right to an attorney.

As an "enemy combatant", however, Tsarnaev can be tried in a military court.
He, as much as we despise it, is an American Citizen that committed terrorism on American soil.I agree.How long until they label freepers as terrorists and take away our rights as well?
This is a slam dunk, but most of the time the situation isn't as clear. And as they say, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
I’d ship him to Israel. They’ll get it out of him.
So true and I hope that is what happens.
okay then let’s go with .22,.223,.30,.30/06,.308,.45,.50. I understand quite well that what I want and what I can have are not the same, I’m not a Democrat.
Waterboard his ass...
ditto
And I sure as hell am not a liberal nor a democrat. I am a registered Republican and died in the wool American. Who, if the Republican don’t get their collective sh$te together will vote independent in the next election.
“He, as much as we despise it, is an American Citizen that committed terrorism on American soil.”
Not so fast. Did he tell they truth, under oath, at his naturalization ceremony? If he did not tell the truth, is he a citizen?
Waterboard his ass...
Right, a good high colonic will make him talk!
He can grow a beard and avoid any trial indefinitely.
Absolutely correct.
However, he can still invoke voluntarily.
I always advise invoking - whether under arrest or just being questioned. Before the cops even get a chance to say anything, you state that you want legal representation. Then, they can't talk to you.
The best outcome would be to let him walk.
He might make it down the courthouse steps, might.
“I always advise invoking”
That bears repeating.
