I will just say that when you authorize the torture of US citizens by the US government you are nearing a dangerous slippery slope and I wouldn't want to live here.
I never said torture. I said whatever it takes to ensure the safety of the rest of the country. I have no idea what that entails.
Also, you are so caught up on US citizens, if the Sandy Hook guy was part of a group planning similar attacks would you say they should go by the book and hope he admits to something?

That's an excellent article. Spot on IMO and something we never think of.

Definitely made me think. I did some perusing around his web-site and just listened to his MLK speech in 2010 at the Fountain Baptist Church. Other than the guy yelling "I hear ya Wise, uh huh" every 10 seconds, it was very fascinating.

Both of them were college guys, one supposedly on his way to a medical degree, but they not only assumed that they could get to New York from Boston in a hijacked car with an unknown amount of fuel, but abandoned the, ahem, "plan" when they realized they might have to stop at a gas station? That really doesn't add up, even as desperation or a desire to go out in a blaze of glory.

The older one went to community college part-time, didn't graduate.

Climbing up on my soapbox...
As I listen to my car radio this morning I hear the Director of the Funeral Home that has the dead body of the dead Boston terrorist. He's complaining that NO cemetery will take the body. I guess he's also ticked off because people are picketing his business. Well good for those cemeteries that have refused the body and good for those picketing.. He has killed 4 people and injured 200+, including dozens with limbs amputeed, some with multiple limbs lost. The dead terrorist is not a US citizen. We as in the US allowed him and his family into our country as refugees. We allowed them to get an education. We even gave him and his family $100k in multiple forms of financial aid. What they should do with the body....
Cremate it and put it in a urn. Put the urn it in a box and slap a label on it for his mother's address, wherever she is currently living. Give the box to FedEx or UPS and ship it off to his mother. No signature required upon delivery, I don't care. OR, put his coffin on the next military transport to Europe and when we have a diplomatic or military flight to Russia. Put the coffin on that plane and when they land. Put the coffin on the tarmac and tell Putin, there you go, he's all yours you deal with it.
Cambridge City Manager Robert Healy said in a statement Sunday there has been no formal application for a burial permit or purchase of a cemetery plot. He said he is urging Tsarnaev's family and Stefan not to request a burial permit for the city-owned Cambridge Cemetery.
Healy said the city "would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and widespread media presence at such an interment." He said the families who have loved ones interred at the cemetery also deserve to have their deceased family members rest in peace.
Healey said other federal agencies should take the lead in the burial.

Very cool that an American won the Marathon today for the first time since 1983.

I'd love to get to this event one of these days, maybe when the O's are playing on Marathon Monday again. Saw some pics from my friends on FB who live there, amazing the support this gets and must've been really something this year.
