"Will be brought to justice", "held accountable"; just words from a president who "doesn't bluff"

'We are going to find out who did this.' And then what?  "How would Major Nassan have been treated if he shot up a fort in, lets say, 1944?  I venture to say the matter would have been resolved in weeks rather than years."
....

"But just as the defendant is due a speedy trial, so also it is owed to the nation when crimes against the nation occur.  Our nation awaits the resolution of the KSM, Hassan Fort Hood massacre, and now the Boston bombing."

And don't tell me we are better, more just than in 1944. More feckless, I'd say.
