After the Boston bombings and subsequent arrest, the question will come back to how should America treat “terrorists” vs. regular old violent criminals?  Polling here shows an interesting trend to not having “terrorists” read their Miranda Rights.  

I lean toward treating them as regular criminals, mostly because I do not like thinking of anyone hurting people, be it 1 or 100 as any different in the eyes of the law.  Additionally, its regular law enforcement, BPD, NYPD, etc, that we expect to be the first on the scene.  They cannot begin to start making split second decisions as to who or what this person is, their job is to arrest dangerous men, whatever their motive.
