Thanks to the courage and persistence of law enforcement, Boston’s nightmare has ended. One terrorist is dead, and the other is in custody.
Yet there are many unanswered questions. Did the terrorists have help? Are there more terrorist cells in Boston? Are Chechen terrorists now actively targeting the United States? Do we face a greater threat?
The ACLU wants to grant the captured terrorist a right to remain silent. Granting this right could be a deadly mistake. It is time to investigate now, prosecute later.
Petition against Miranda Warnings for Enemy Terrorists
To President Obama, Attorney General Holder, and Secretary of Defense Hagel:
Unlawful enemy combatants are not common criminals. We are at war. Take the steps permitted by the Constitution and federal law to interrogate unlawful enemy combatants until we obtain the information we need.
