Lindsay Graham says Torture Him!

It would be comical if nobody listened to him, but he is powerful in conservative circles.  Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) suggested on Friday that the Obama administration should toss the court system and Constitution out the window when handling the missing suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.
In a series of tweets that came hours after it was revealed that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the suspect at large in the Boston marathon bombings, is a United States citizen, Graham urged the Obama administration to nevertheless consider treating him as an enemy combatant.  He also complained that there weren't any drones being deployed over Boston.

He is a buffoon, but as I said he is a powerful one and that makes him dangerous.  Other saner opinions being published suggest our criminal justice system is the proper venue for this case, and most importantly, our Constitution requires it.
