    tl;dr: Terrorists should not be punished as the criminals they are; they should be aggrandized as the warriors they claim to be.https://twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain/status/925762925863882752 …

    #NYC terror suspect should be held & interrogated as an enemy combatant consistent with the Law of Armed Conflict. https://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=press-releases&id=47259DC1-98E3-41D7-8D59-3A539022DB98 …

        I remain mystified by the notion that we should treat terrorists as enemy combatants and not as criminals. Why buy into the ISIS narrative

        IRA went on hunger strike to be treated as enemy combatants and not criminals. What they wanted is a given today

        But the LAW determines guilt or innocence first. It's called a process, which should, no must, be due to everyone if we believe in it.

        He didn't mean to have to defend himself before a jury. Psychologists may study him, officers might find out more than about #Paddock.

        But if the perps glorify the stars and bars (THAT armed conflict) they should always have the chance to select a favorable jury.

        ...in jail forever and treating them as ordinary criminals is the best way to prevent others to copy their deeds. 2/2

        Good news is he survived. That he didn't get killed means he failed. He can‘t regard himself as a martyr. Keeping those fanatic morons 1/2
