So, they wanted to make sure he was captured alive so the authorities could ask him thousands of questions to find out why and who was involved.
But, now, the government is telling him that, he doesn’t have to say anything.
With that contradictory set of positions, wouldn’t it have been preferable to have him go meet his brother in hell?
Unless you are less than 10 years old you can bet this scumbag will still be alive, filing appeals and living on the taxpayer when you are long gone.
Does Mirandized mean water boarded in Chechen?
All the big shots and union seniority will go home now... leaving the few rookies behind as sitting ducks for another attack...
The Sheriffs in your counties had better start recruiting, deputizing, and arming civilians.
When these terrorists see the disarray caused by two young snot nosed kids, they will hit us again...
This was a test run.
He’s a U.S. citizen. Whether he should have been allowed to become one is a good question, but the fact is that he is a citizen.
U.S. citizen arrested on U.S. soil had better get due process.
So now he’ll lawyer up — and his legal team will no doubt be pals or at least associates of Holder, whose law firm defended some of the Gitmo terrorists before he became AG. It is truly barfworthy.
This cannot be right—the US Attorney just minutes ago said that they were going to use the National Security exception to the requirement to the Miranda steps.
If true, somebody high up interfered VERY QUICKLY. I’m holding up believing this until I hear credible confirmation.
BREAKING NEWS:
The Sun will rise in the East tomorrow morning.
Of course they did. This has to count as one of the most moronic threads ever on FR. What did you expect them to do, recite the Miller’s Tale from Chaucer?
so now this can become bozo’s nightmare and he and his regime can deal with it
There is no reason NOT to mirandize.
In the first place, the guy has spent the last 10 years living in Boston. I recall seeing a passing reference to him watching CSI as I rolled down his old twitter postings. Telling him miranda rights is not telling him something he does not already know. That’s quite different than taking into custody some ignorant terrorist in Afghanistan. Telling that guy he doesn’t have to talk and can get a free lawyer if he wants could make a huge difference.
Secondly, Holder and Obama will NEVER authorize enhanced interrogation. So they aren’t really going to interrogate him anyway. If the guy decides to talk, it’s not going to be because he doesn’t know about his miranda rights.
So the reality is, in this situation we don’t gain anything by not mirandizing him, and not doing just gives an opening to his lawyer to try to explore whether not mirandizing was really justified under the exception.
ABC reports:
“A senior Justice Department official told ABC News that federal law enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception to the Miranda rights, so that Tsarnaev will be questioned immediately without having Miranda rights issued to him.
The federal government’s high value detainee interrogation group will be responsible for questioning him.
The Miranda exemption exists to protect the public safety from another attack, according to the official. “
Boston Bomb Suspect Captured Alive in Backyard Boat
No big deal. It only means that information they get can’t be used in court. The information about who his contacts are and who supported him and his brother is more important.
Giuseppe Zangara (September 7, 1900 – March 20, 1933) was the assassin of Chicago mayor Anton Cermak.
On February 15, 1933 he shot at FDR and killed Cermack. Execution was 35 days later.
Damn those were the “Good Olde Days”!
My next door neighbor, Patrolman Fitzhugh Lee was FDR’s chauffer that day and was one of those who caught the perp.
Secret service were not responsible for FDR’s travel.
Dirty bastards! (not saving language) They should have taken him to a black site and water boarded him!
According to CBS, he has/will not be Mirandized.
Gross incompetence V2.0.
I am a bit surprised that Aljazera is covering this as intensively as FOX.
I heard they weren’t going to do that....figures! Obama! Holder...
I fully expect the MuzzieOTUS to pardon this jihadist after the 2016 elections.
