Correct me if I'm wrong, but a person has a right to remain silent whether someone reads it to him or not. Miranda only requires the police to inform the suspect of that right, and to tell him that anything he says will be used against him.

Not "Mirandizing" him is not carte blanche to beat the crap out of him if he doesn't cooperate.

If we lockdown 5 million Americans to find two terrorists with pressure cooker explosives, what will the government do when the Iranians or the Chinese send over 200 terrorists with explosives, lock down all 300 million Americans?

yep.

I don’t think that’s out of the ordinary, unless there was reason to believe they were part of a vast network of foreigners here plotting more.

Miranda is a court decision I recall.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

One good thing about him being a citizen. If our govt grew a pair and went after him as having done the bombing as an act of war ... I believe that would technically be treason. And you know the penalty for that.

[CyberAnt]

Well, I see Twitter strikes again.

I heard from the district DA - live - she said NO - HE WAS NOT MIRANDIZED.

People need to stop using Twitter as a source of good info .. it’s NOT a good source at all.

[bigbob]

As the US attorney said, the calls will be made by the AG, i.e. General Holder. Swell.

[Chode]

there's extreme exigent circumstances in play here that allow questioning about other possible bombs/accomplices and a strong possibility of more IED's planted around the city/risk of more deaths

they can question within a restricted scope of those topics within a reasonable timeframe to determine if there are other explosives/accomplices about to bomb/attack, etc. if he talks about any other bombs/bombers they can ask about locations/types, etc. plus there's no constitutional requirement to Mirandize if they do not question him or the police do not intend to use anything he said against him in a court of law...

[Doomonyou]

It sounds like these guys had automatic weapons, or at least some high cap. semi-auto guns, (I wont call them "assault weapons") just from the sound and description of the gunfire. I'll be very interested as to how these guys got their guns, and what exactly they are. As far as I know, We haven't heard a word about their guns.

(Putting on tinfoil hat) Would be interesting if these were fast and furious weapons.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Ah, yes, fighting a war through the justice system . . .

[InterceptPoint]

The more this guy talks the worse it is for Obama. So the report is probably true. Protect O every and any way you can. The MSM will rejoice.

[MinuteGal]

Bill O'Bloviator smugly said tonight that the perp will be indicted, tried and executed. But first, says Bill, we will have to find out from this terroristo what REALLY happened and WHY?

Whoa, Mr. Know-it-All !

The perp is undoubtedly already lawyered-up with a mouthpiece hired by CAIR or some other traitorous organization or two.

If he snaps out of his serious injuries, his shill will instruct him to clam up and not spill a bean.

Then the negotiations will begin. Holder (aka the Government) will have to decide what to do if the little stupe wants to plead out for a life sentence in return for ratting out his Jihad superiors, trainers and cohourts, domestic and foreign....OR.....accept no plea bargains and let the punk experience the wonders of the threadless needle.

Decisions, decisions....

Bill, your dreamy scenario sequence only happens in the movies. It ain't gonna happen as easy as you predict despite your ample supply of will-power which is rumored to secretly run the country.

[little jeremiah]

They did Mirandize him after all?

[Mozilla]

I Kind of suspected this in the breaking news thread for the manhunt...so here comes the civilian trial and the ACLU.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I wish they’d blasted him like his brother.

[R_Kangel]

.... Well .... in any case .... as of Sept 11th 2012, he became a brand new American Citizen with all of the rights that affords him .... and if he wasn't Mirandized .... The traitor would quickly rise to the ranks of a folk hero among the leftists and radicals in this country and the next decade or so would end up being nothing more than a colossal battle with the left and activists on the "Rights" issue instead of addressing the real issues at hand. That being about an Enemy of the State, a combatant terrorist on U.S. soil taking up arms against America.

.... However, The second he took up arms against the US he probably lost his standing as an American Citizen.

[Despot of the Delta]

He’s got a one way ticket to ADX Range 13

[Lent]

Who cares if he gives a statement or not. Seriously. Give him all the rights he needs because the case against him is about as solid a case you could conceive of. When he is convicted and is waiting on death row led him flounder around in the Aryan brotherhood wing of some prison where he can be their little girl and beg for mercy or more whatever his inclination might be.

[NoGrayZone]

I would say shocking, but then I’d be passing false witness.

[NoGrayZone]

I am so done.
