BBC News: Reports that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the surviving Boston Bomber will not be read his Miranda rights.
Lets Get Real:
Even liberal Democrats might be cautious about pushing for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to be read his rights, what if he shuts up, what if there are other terror cells in the US or abroad, as the article notes the Republicans are arguing that Tsarnaev be thought of as a "enemy combatant", in other words throw him in jail and throw away the key, he is dead either way, the Obama Administration can bring Federal charges that carry the death penalty or he gets life in prison. Either way a death sentence. The worry on the political front is that Democrats who have looked like national security hawks after the death of UBL, will look weak again if they treat Tsarnaev as your typical criminal. The ramifications could play in to the 2014 Mid Terms and the US Presidential Election in 2016, thus Democrats will bail on the Oval if its in their political interest, a lame duck President is even lamer if he is politically dead with his own Party, thus the Oval has to be careful, between the liberal agenda of the Oval and the political realities of US politics,.
