I am still not clear on who exactly made the decision and when they made it. When they took him off the plane, who in the gov’t was in charge of him? Who initially questioned him? Who decided to read him his Miranda rights and when? What was the chain of command in this decision making process? Was it Eric Holder alone who decided this without consulting the DNI or NCTC or CIA heads? Did Holder (if it was indeed him who made the decision) consult with POTUS before making the decision?
The Senate did a lousy job of fleshing out the timeline and facts about this. Sitting up there pontificating instead of asking specific questions does a disservice to the people who elected them and does nothing to enhance our security.
