I feel I must clarify my earlier posts.
By "strongest, swiftest justice", I merely implied that a ridiculously long drawn out trial will only inspire (and inform) others to do similar acts. At no point did I suggest he should be killed. What he knows is very important. And when I said "No Miranda rights", people on here responded like it was blasphemy. Since 9/11, if you commit a terrorist attack, you have no rights. Looking back on the past week, of all the evidence, their actions when they were pursued, etc... is there much doubt of their guilt?
Being as this is The Lounge, I'd also like to present my assumptions (ass-u-me). When I read thru the 19 year old's Twitter account, he was very much a typical American kid. Influenced by money and fame, incredibly intelligent, few angry posts at all. The older brother never seemed to fully embrace American life, always harboring anger over the Chechnya situation he saw as a teen. It doesn't take Picasso to paint the picture that the younger brother was guilty, but the older brother was the 'mastermind'. And now that the older brother is deceased, any lawyer is going to hype that the kid was a pawn. The end fact is that he killed four innocent Americans, attempted to murder hundreds more, and he terrorized millions.
And people are worried about his personal rights?!
