What- ever information provided from him during the first 48 hours in custody will be the last tidbits of information he will be offering. As I listened and watched a press briefing by Jay Carney, the president’s mouthpiece, I wanted to scream at the TV screen.

He now will be treated as a common criminal, but what happened on April 15th in Boston and again during an April 18th firefight in Cambridge was not a convenience store rob- bery gone bad, it was an act of war by “holy warriors” who consider themselves at war with western values. Radical Islamic jihadists should be tried as enemy sol- diers regardless of their citizenship status. To do anything other is to spit on the bodies of all the victims at the Boston Marathon as they laid helplessly on the street on April 15th. Most Americans are still awaiting justice down at Ft.
