As expected, several Republican members of Congress don't want Miranda rights read to Dzhogar Tsarnaev, the surviving Boston Marathon bomber; they want him tried in a military court as an enemy combatant; and of course, they want the death penalty.
This does not sound like due process for a U. S. citizen; it sounds like revenge is more important. A nation of laws would be sure that any accused is proven beyond doubt to guilty of the crimes as charged.
As for the death penalty, what does that prove? That the government believes killing is a solution just as the killer believes killing is a solution to some real or imagined problem.
Finally, whether the Tsarnaev brothers acted out of anger and craziness or they acted for political reasons, executing Dzhogar Tsarnaev will provide Islamists with yet another martyr.
