the bombs would have killed dozens had it not been for other people on the scene immediately addressing their injuries.

what is a "weapon of mass destruction" then, if not the legal definition?

basically there's a few different versions of it. there's the strategic real politic view where yeah, some goddamn pressure cooker bomb isn't mass destruction. but then there's a view from the point of criminal behavior, and this certainly did cause mass destruction on civilians. we're not going to war over these WMDs, we're charging someone with a crime. i think they meet different standards. one is the state level and the other is individual. states with WMDs mean states with nukes or chem or bio weapons. individuals includes explosive devices no matter how small

I'm thinking he should be tried as an American and not be given the status symbol of terrorist among his peer douchebags.

You can't kill him any deader than dead, regardless what he is charged with, or how they proceeded without reading him Miranda. Try him and hang him.

Suspending or bypassing the Constitution is always a bad move.

Are they ever amping up the fear. You cannot turn on any media without hearing about the Boston Marathon bombing. Two loners and no connections to any cell of any terrorist gang and that threat is over. But oh no, amp up the fear and make sure no one has any other thought or reaction but ramped up emotional fear.

Its a disturbing trend when more and more politicians are openly calling for the constitution to be put aside. It should never be put in the back burner, regardless of the situation.

Lincoln was so awesome because he constitutionally tossed judges who didn't uphold union laws in jail. To this day his slavery-apologist detractors still despise him for it.

I don't see any rebellion or invasion at the moment, though.

I still can't get over the NY state senator who wanted to torture the Boston bomber that lived. Never mind that the guy's in custody and he's CONFESSED, yeah: let's torture him? WTH?
