I note in fairness that I believe Sen. Graham — who I have criticized in these quarters for his stance on military commissions (see, e.g., here) — has indicated during senate hearings that he does not think al Qaeda should profit from the UCMJ's generous Miranda protections (which are actually better than what criminals get in the civilian justice system).

But that's irrelevant because the horse is already out of the barn.

Oops, Lindsay almost did something right.

Maybe I am stupid, but doesn't this mean the whole argument over interrogation techniques and Common Article 3 is moot? Apparently now we can't interrogate terrorists AT ALL unless they are first told they have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. What terrorist will submit to any kind of interrogation under those circumstances, and what would any U.S. interrogator do with an attorney present other than to say, "please will you tell me what you and your pals were up to?"

Thanks a freaking lot, McCain.
