Things go boom

Given every other domestic American terrorist has been read their Miranda rights, the only assumption is that this case is special because of the religious and/or ethnic background of Tsarnaev. 

IOW, legalised discrimination.  Yay!

Laws have not changed regarding such instances since McVeigh, have they? How were the Ft. Hood attacks approached?

This is the nice thing about Tucson.  It's too hard to excited about The Cause and "direct action", here.  It's too much work for the police to pull weird and "extraordinary" things that are becoming far too ordinary.  No, we live in the darkness imposed by a merciless, omnipresent sun, and it has baked the evil out of us.  We may be batshit crazy, but we're not sick. 

We often wonder what in gibbering fuck possesses You People down there in the oxygen.  It is a subject of discussion, and much bafflement.

As Nidal Hasan was a soldier and the attacks took place on a military base, he is subject to military law.

The public safety exception has existed since 1984 (appropriately enough), but the FBI issued an order in 2010 to "interpret broadly" the exception when dealing with terrorism cases.

Some might not remember directly, but it reminds me of certain ghost of the past:

Ill just say that dealing with brutality with exceptions to human rights leads to more brutality overall.

Could the be working under the assumption there are more devices to be found?

"Special Interrogation team" just sounds like "most creative CIA guy we had handy". I can't think how else this could be justified. The eventual defence lawyer will have fun with this too I'm sure.

"Special Interrogation Team" is code for "trained torturers". Bet money.

I'm wondering if they're referring to the High-Value Interrogation Group.  If so, he's likely being interrogated while drugged up, and being deprived sleep too.

Hypothetically, if there was some friendly foreign intelligence or FBI sting operation gone wrong behind this, the first thing I'd try to do is make sure the guy dies resisting arrest, and if that fails, cook his brain with drugs and torture before he gets a chance to say anything publically.

Like I told all my friends last night...we just lived a real life episode of 24.

Also, this happened in Watertown yesterday, it's starting to circulate on Facebook but I figured I would at least prove it's real. My friend's neighbor was out of milk, and they have little kids. Apparently someone tried to go on a milk run when shit started getting hairy, and this commonwealth copper told them no, but did the milk run for them.

People continue to impress me up here.

Indeed.

The Underwear Bomber - which we know from statements by John Brennan was a case where US intelligence was well informed at every step of the process - had such treatment, to the point that he was being "interviewed" while under heavy sedation.

It was also involved in the case of Faisal Shahzad and Manssor Arbabsiar.  In each case, the alleged was kept from seeing a judge for a period of days, and within that time period, a signed confession emerged.  In the case of the former, there was the suspicious "protective custody" of his family in Pakistan which happened within that time period, and in the case of the latter, it seems he was denied cigarettes and food to obtain the confession.

That kinda needs a caption.

The BBC's David Willis, outside the hospital, says the suspect is suffering gunshot wounds to the neck and leg and has lost a lot of blood, so it could be a while before investigators are able to talk to him.

Shot in the neck?

CBS News quoted investigators as saying that a wound to the neck may have been a suicide attempt.

May have been?

Apparently unable to communicate yet.
