Sen. Lindsey Graham: Treat Boston Suspect As An Enemy Combatant

Lindsey Graham tweets:

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



The last thing we may want to do is read Boston suspect Miranda Rights telling him to "remain silent."

When some of you say: "There's no difference between Obama and the Republicans", you really do need to educate yourself.

PROVING that THAT is the way we should be dealing with the crime of terrorism (rather than as a military/battlefield initiative) is NOT in the interest of people like Graham and his corporate masters, who turn a profit and make a living of off fear, paranoia, and bloodshed.

FUCK him I hope this guy stands trial.

Treat him the same as McVeigh was treated, fair enough under the law.
