There is a lot of coulda/woulda/shoulda Monday morning armchair quarterbacking and second guessing going on about the Marathon bombers right now. So here are a few things you need to know before you make an ass of yourself.

1. The FBI looked into the older brother in 2011. They traced his digital footprints and checked him out, and they found zero terrorist connections or communications. They then closed their investigation. What you probably don't know is that Tamerlan traveled to Russia AFTER the book was closed on him.

2. The younger brother is a US citizen. Under a Reagan era Supreme Court ruling, his Mirandizing can be temporarily delayed if there is perceived to be an imminent threat to public safety. For example, did the bombers plant any other bombs? However, this temporary suspension of the reading of his rights has a very short fuse.

3. Any information garnered from the surviving bomber will be collected without beating him up, smacking him around, waterboarding, or through the use of any other kind of torture. Believe it or not, torture is not the only nor the optimum method for intelligence gathering.

4. One of the differences between Bush's NDAA and Obama's NDAA is that under Obama's NDAA, the younger bomber cannot be sent to Gitmo and tried by a military tribunal as he could have been under Bush's NDAA. Since he is a US citizen, he must be tried as a criminal in a US court under Obama's NDAA.

5. The second bomber was captured without militarized drones being deployed. He was not blown up. He was captured with the aid of aircraft using thermal cameras.

Yes. But instead of launching Predator drones with Hellfire missiles, the government used thermal cameras.

Numbers one and two. :thup:
As for the rest too bad you couldn't stick with simple facts and not use personal political positions to make a point. Oh well.
 
they now hate the police too.

Is there anything about this country they they like?

I like Mount Rushmore.

I like Yellowstone Park.

I like small regional airports that don't use TSA agents.

I like visiting the UP of Michigan when the leaves change color.

Why would they use drones and missiles in a residential area?
 
There is never a need to read a suspect his Miranda rights if the police and the prosecutors are not in need of any statements for use against the suspect at trial.

THAT is the sole legal ramification. IF it is found to have been required but not provided, the statements get suppressed. End of story.

Unless of Course the poster of that believes Obama is capable of killing civilians to end a goal of his. Is that what G5000 is saying?

Point taken in your OP, but I just wanted it to be clear.

Richard Reid was tried and plead guilty in U.S. federal court to eight criminal counts of terrorism under the Bush administration.
