Even if you have little sympathy for Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, you ought to support his lawyers' efforts to curtail the government's sprawling use of so-called "Special Administrative Measures" in his case. Whatever you think of him, and the capital crimes of which he stands accused, he has a right to counsel, a right to counsel who can privately and effectively communicate with him, and the Justice Department's efforts to undermine that right in this instance are unfair and perhaps even unconstitutional. 

After the Empire's enforcers failed to kill Dzhokhar while hiding in a boat, their legal authorities are now trying to limit any access he has to the outside world. This treatment after the killing of a knowledgeable witness in May to the Boston Marathon bombings lends more credence to suspicions that the government is engaging in another coverup.
