It, let s hear some of the more hawkish candidates and how they sound at the debate. you re an american citizen and you decide to join up with isis, you re going to be treated as an enemy combat. we need strength. we have to go massively like we did in the first gulf war where we destroyed the ability to take kuwait. we need to have a coalition that will stand for nothing less than the total destruction of isis. america is at war. our enemy is not violent extremism. it is not some unnamed force. it is radical islamic terrorist. isis and radical islamic terrorism will face no more determined foe than i will be. we will utterly destroy them by targeting the bad guys. yes, we would shoot down the planes of russian pilots if ....
This, whatever you have to do to get to the truth, start with you, professor, what you to believe is an acceptable set of parameters for how you treat a suspect in these situations? let s remember, we have precedent here. we had much, much worse terrorists in this country called the weather men. they were bred at home, they were all american kids, they were wealthy. they were well educated. they made anti-personnel bombs. they planned to kill many, many american soldiers at ft. dix, columbia university students. we treated them with kid gloves, nobody talked about enemy combat, one is teaching at columbia and another at chicago, robert redford is making a movie about them. we have a real, real double standard here. there is no way that these people are going to be treated as enemy combatants. this is going to be an ordinary criminal trial, we re going to try get as much information from them, but the best way to get the information is bargain, to exchange his life, possibly, for the ....

The boston bombing set off a heated debate about trying terror suspects as an enemy combatant. my next guess is former attorney general under george w. bush. there is question as it whether he should be tried as an enemy combat. what would you have recommended. it shouldn t be a debate. the statute setting uch the military commissions that we have now makes it unlawful to try an american citizen before them. end of discussion. when you heard the state senate demanding the right to torture this man, what was your reaction to that? come on. we don t torture. torture is illegal under the u.s. statute. i know of no instance in which anybody has committed officially stanks sanction editor tour. ....
Say to turn his trial into a pry vent. jay okay. you don t seem impressed. i am not sure the ambassador is right. i think they did preclude us from treating u.s. citizens as enemy combatants. lyndsay graham was the author of that provision. of course the past few days he has been expressly saying he wants tsarnaev treated as an enemy combat combatant. he is not impressed with lyndsay graham. do i get another try here? immogen you said the criminal court system has an excellent record of prosecuting terrorists. you are right. federal courts convicted 500 individuals on terrorism charges since 9/11. great you can do research for him. it just came up. i thought oh i remember doing that. i was debating. you could at least pretend you looked into the stories for us. ....
