(Before It's News)

Massachusetts Senate candidates are staking out positions on whether Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be tried as an enemy combatant after the White House announced its controversial decision to prosecute Tsarnaev as a civilian today.

GOP Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez, a former Navy SEAL, challenged his opponents to label Tsarnaev an “enemy combatant” on Saturday and reiterated his stance to the Washington Free Beacon today.

“I believe the Boston terrorist should have been held as an enemy combatant,” Gomez said. “We need all relevant national security information before he lawyers up.”

State Rep. Daniel Winslow, who is also vying for the GOP nomination, told the Free Beacon that Tsarnaev should be classified as an enemy combatant if he is linked to a foreign terrorist organization.

“If there is a link between [Tsarnaev] and al Qaeda or the Taliban or a foreign government or group then he should be classified as an enemy combatant,” Winslow said in a statement. “If there is no link between him and those groups then legally he cannot be categorized as an enemy combatant and should be tried through the U.S. court system, just as was done after the Oklahoma City bombing by Timothy McVeigh. Either way he should receive the death penalty upon conviction.”
