This quote by Lindsey Graham (r) should scare every American to their core!

[Yooperman]

"If captured, I hope this Administration will at least consider holding the Boston suspect as enemy combatant for intelligence gathering purposes."

Tzarnaev is an American citizen and if all the government has to do is label you by a different name to be able to circumvent our rights supposed given to us by our constitution this once great nation has lost the battle already. Thank the GWB administration for this one also. Shame on the Obama administration for not overturning this type of government power.

My 2 cents.

[dballance]

2. I try not to use this word but: FUCK you Lindsey Graham

[randome]

7. My precise sentiment!

[chillfactor]

4. Lindsey.....asshat supreme!

I heard that the suspect has already been read his Miranda rights....stick that where the sun don't shine Lindsey....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. Um, no.

We live under a rule of law. Due process is king.

A country with no due process of law is no country worth pledging allegiance to.

[neverforget]

6. Why does he hate the Constitution?

[chillfactor]

9. simple....

he is a Republican.....

[DirkGently]

8. Republicans have an insane comment on everything now.

"Hey, don't forget! We have a bullshit thing to say in these situations! Look at us! Hello?"

I don't think Obama will bite on this nonsense.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Yes, yes it should

[MotherPetrie]

11. Don't give the Administration ideas

12. I heard they were legal resident aliens (they had green cards) but were not citizens.

[City Lights]

14. The younger one became a US citizen on 9-11-2012.

The older one was not a US citizen.

[Stinky The Clown]

22. Fair enough. I hadn't heard that.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. I heard the same.

[rocktivity]

13. "Intelligence" is the LAST thing the Tzarnaev brothers exhibited.

They didn't have a political/religious mandate any more than the Columbine shooters did. They didn't even come up with an escape plan!

18. Which tells me they never thought they would get caught.

They probably thought they were invisible in real life. It never occurred to them how much video coverage there would be at the Boston Marathon.

21. It tells me they never thought

period!

16. Not scared in the least

Graham is an asshat, and asshats are way outnumbered by decent people with sense.

[grantcart]

17. exactly

Also when the professionals are through with him and they are able to get information from him without torture Graham will be embarrassed - again.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

19. Lindsey Graham is an enemy incompetent

[bvar22]

20. Bill Clinton managed to capture, try, and imprison ALL of criminals...

... involved in the first WTC bombing in 1993, without:

*Going outside the US Justice System

*Rewriting our Constitution

*Opening Torture Centers like Guantanamo

*Invading and Occupying ANY foreign countries

*Killing a single American soldier

*Killing a single innocent civilian

*Maiming any women & children

*Bankrupting the USA and sending the Economy into a depression

*Engendering ill will toward the USA throughout the World

I'm not a huge fan of the Centrist, Anti-LABOR Clinton Administration,
but I give him 5 stars and Two Thumbs Up for the way he handled the First WTC Bombing.
