Boston bombing suspect charged, will not be treated as enemy combatant

[Envisioning]

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.

no, this is what they did to macveigh. he’s a us citizen on us soil. if we lose our constitutional protections in this case, it will set a dangerous precedent. we can’t have justice by lynch mob.

He's had his naturalized citizenship for less than a year. He took an oath to defend this nation. He lied.

List of denaturalized former citizens of the United States

including Nazi war criminals and serious crimes, suspicion of spying for the communists, or association with terrorists

If he was already plotting and training for such activities before he was sworn in, this case seems applicable:

Jean-Baptiste, Lionel (born 1947) circa 2003

Failure to "establish and maintain 'good moral character'"[99] due to conviction as a drug dealer after application for citizenship, but before his naturalization on April 23, 1996.

Also

Goldman, Emma (1869–1940) Anarchist. 1919 Deported on December 21, 1919; landed in Finland on January 17, 1920, and sent from there to the Russian border

If we go the route that he IS a citizen, then he engaged in treason by participating in the acts with a foreign national (his brother) in support of foreign agents (who trained his brother).

Too bad his older brother didn’t survive — then you could have Tamarlan tried in military court while Joker is tried in federal court.

I wonder if the State is going to charge him with manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident in the death of his brother since he ran over him.

[a fool in paradise]

You have some who say that it is unclear if Terrorist #2 driving over his brother is what was the “death blow”.

Then again, we are talking about the state that let Dead Red Ted Kennedy get away with vehicular manslaughter and failure to report an accident in a timely manner (until he’d lawyered/sobered up).

[Lumper20]

I believe a traitor loses his/her citizenship just as the AWOL Marine in RVN did.

Many will die and/or become maimed until this nation throws every Muslim out of it.

you’re splitting hairs, whether he should have been granted citizenship is now a moot point he IS a citizens. if we start rationalizing that criminal intent voids citizenship, then it won’t be too long before the left uses that same cudgel against conservatives.

we either have constitutional protections or we try to weasel our way otu of them. if we can toss their rights out the window when it suits our purposes, they will be able to toss ORU rights out the window when it suits their purposes

[a fool in paradise]

if we start rationalizing that criminal intent voids citizenship,

Not starting. Continuing something understood for at least 100 years.

And again, you can't use it against those born here.

Peter Jennings LIED when he became a citizen of the United States in 2004 (he brags about keeping his Canadian citizenship) so that he could vote against Bush.

Lie under your swearing in oath, out on your ass.

[camle]

the thing is that he’s a us citizen. period. and he’s entitled to the same legal protections as every other american
citizen.
