Oh. Before we begin today's "Bashing Barack," remember that on Wednesday I invited you to create your own Catchy Caption to the photo of Michelle Obama and France's First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
I am sad to report that an overwhelming number had the "B" word involved and, therefore, cannot be repeated here.
The best usable caption was: "I'm just glad she's not looking at me."
On to the really amusing stuff: An article in the Weekly Standard maintains that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is being given a broader role in interrogating prisoners taken during raids on terrorist dens in Afghanistan.
I think that's perfectly OK. But it turns out that according to U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) the Obama Administration has determined that at the moment of capture a terrorist becomes a prisoner and must be read his/her Miranda rights.
For those of you who may have slept through each of the 1,273 Law & Order episodes in all of their various flavors, here is the officially accepted "Miranda Warning:"
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense.

Then, after the lawyer has done his job by advising his client to clam up, the operator should inform the lawyer that all of those prohibitions against harsh interrogation techniques apply to the terrorist - not to the terrorist's lawyer!
Then: Tie the lawyer to a one-by-twelve with his feet about a foot higher than his head, get a big pitcher of water and hold it over his head, dribbling maybe just a few drops, and invite him to think very, very seriously about revising his advice to his client about keeping silent.
It's a war zone. Things get confused."
I’d be happy with handcuffing him to his “client” for the duration. Security, doncha know...
When the lawyer is assigned to the terrorist, ensure that he stays with the terrorist at all times to protect the terrorist legally. Make that part of the job. Then he is right next to the terrorist when the small caliber explosive round goes off or when the grenade drops into the machine gun nest. And we have a large number of underemployed lawyers right now. Offer them transportation costs and $500K a year for the job.
zero insisting on Mirandizing the enemy on the battlefield just confirms what we all in freeper land know: (1) zero is NOT on our side and (2) zero is effing INSANE.
Of course, being so smart and all, these lawyers will be conversant in all required languages. Since they are ACLU members, they are pacifistic and cannot be given a weapon. And since the locals will obviously see their good intent and warmly embrace them, they won’t need security or vests or helmets. Their nice Armani suits will identify them as friendly to the nice terrorists who are being deprived of their 5th amendment rights?
What do you get when you have 50 lawyers up to their necks in sand??
More Sand.
Pray for America
Some very interesting suggestions in this thread. Most of them properly associating the terrorist with their attorney. However, in the interest of preserving 0bama’s march to marxism, many of those lawyers will be useful in filing lawsuits and court actions against sanity, common sense, and the Constitution.
So, stop detaining the terrorists. Just kill’em. Problem solved.
Try the Carmen Miranda Rights:
“You have the right to a bowl of fruit on your head”
“You have the right to a foreign accent”
“You have the right to a Conga Line. If you cannot afford a Conga Line, one will be provided for you”
“Having been read these rights, Do you understand them? Do you want to sing ‘BOBALOO’”?
Waterboard their lawyers too.
Good one.
