The Department of Justice has just announced that the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, has been charged from his hospital bed. Tsarnaev will not be tried as an enemy combatant in a military tribunal. Instead, he is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and will be tried in a federal civilian court. White House spokesman Jay Carney says Tsarnaev cannot be tried in a military tribunal because he is a U.S. citizen (he was sworn in on September 2012). "We will process this terrorist through our system of justice," just as they've tried and convicted other terrorists since September 11, 2001. An elite interrogation team will question Tsarnaev without reading him his Miranda rights.![]()
