Then I did hear it right, TKS.
So, pricks #1 and #2 are US citizens? I thought they were students from that other country (that I can't spell).
From what I've read, yes. Received their citizenship a year or two back.
Feds Make Miranda Rights Exception for Marathon Bombing Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
Now that authorities have captured Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old believed to be the second suspect in the bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday, federal law enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception regarding his Miranda rights, a senior Justice Department official told ABC News.
The exception, according to the FBI‘s website, “permits law enforcement to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation and allows the government to introduce the statement as direct evidence.”
“Police officers confronting situations that create a danger to themselves or others may ask questions designed to neutralize the threat without first providing a warning of rights,” according to the FBI.
Anticipating that Tsarnaev may be in a condition to be questioned, expect the activation of the president’s High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG).
The group, set up in 2009, is made up of agents from the FBI, CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency. They have been on standby waiting for the moment the suspect was taken in.
According to the FBI, the HIG’s “mission is to gather and apply the nation’s best resources to collect intelligence from key terror suspects in order to prevent terrorist attacks against the United States and its allies.”

That makes this very disturbing.
This is not some battlefield in the middle east, this is an American citizen arrested in Boston. Extremely bad precedent being set here.

Before i post the following, heres a disclaimer: I have nothing but respect and admiration for law enforcement officials and uniformed men that keep our country safe.
With that said, how on earth does a group of officers unload 300 rounds on 2 men, only to kill one of them and let one get away? And then a whole days worth of searching leads to no where until some lady calls in a tip??
He was granted citizenship 09/11/2012.

Then their only legal option is to give him a military trial as a traitor. Going to be a hard argument for that one, since there's not legally a war on right now...
Taking shortcuts never is the right way. Declare the war or don't do it.
Also, the consensus seems to be.
Citizens [of the United States] who associate themselves with the military arm of the enemy government, and with its aid, guidance, and direction enter this country bent on hostile acts are enemy belligerents within the meaning of the Hague Convention and the law of war.32

So, they can get away with doing what they want.
No, according to NDAA 2012 they can hold him indefinitely without trial of any kind.
So that is known about these guys? Not reported on any media that they were associated with the military arm of a enemy government, or any of the other things.
Unconstitutional, but that hasn't stopped anything lately.
Guess they could have launched a drone attack on the boat also if they wanted.......................
Nothing is unconstitutional until the courts say it is. Thats the way our system works.Unconstitutional, but that hasn't stopped anything lately.
Hey, on the bright side, the police didn't shoot any innocent people while on this manhunt. The same could not be said for LAPD when they were hunting for Dorner.
