Commendable Job by the FBI and the Police

By T.S. Khanna, April 19, 2013

This is to salute and offer our standing ovation for the commendable job done by the FBI and the Massachusetts’s Police Departments in finding and dealing with the Boston terrorists (April 15, to April 19,2013).  Evidently, the terrorists were certain that they cannot be caught and did not even care to have any escape plans.  On the contrary, they were planning for another attack.  They had no idea about the capabilities of the law enforcement authorities.  The performance of the law enforcement authorities, in this case, is very reassuring for the nation.

Much as the traditional democratic judicial system is respected, the changing times demand that the procedural law for the terrorists (foreign or domestic) be modified:

1. No Miranda rights be allowed;
2. No Fifth amendment rights be allowed;
3. No defense attorney at the public expense be allowed;
4. Only summary trials be allowed and completed within three months before the memories of the witnesses start fading away and while the public passion is pitched for justice.

The law enforcement authorities have shown that they are keeping up with the times.  Now it is the judicial system’s turn.
