The federal government file two charges against Boston marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Monday, counts that could result in the death penalty if he's convicted.
The charges put an end to speculation that Tsarnaev would be tried as an enemy combatant. White House spokesman Jay Carney said that Tsarnaev is a naturalized U.S. citizen and cannot be tried by a military commission.
That decision intensified a debate over how to handle terrorism cases in this country. Today Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) urged the White House to reconsider.
"I am asking this administration to leave on the table the option that the evidence warrants to designate this individual as an enemy combatant.
