"Why does this asshat have to be present when the terrorist murderer is questioned? He hasn’t even been charged and it’s not known whether tried in military or civilian court."

Because American's have rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and in this case, the UCMJ. He's been named the sole suspect by command, as such, he has a right to counsel under the UCMJ, as well as a right against self-incrimination. He's currently in the middle of an ongoing CID investigation, which will be followed immediately by an Article 32 investigation and hearing -

If we abandon our fundamental and God-given rights when faced with the most horrific of crimes, we might as well call ourselves Iran or Saudi Arabia. No thanks, that's exactly what they want to happen.

For those of us who don’t know all the acronyms, what is CID?

My point, I think, was that the terrorist hasn’t been charged yet.

Are you saying because he is an American-born terrorist and not a foreign-born terrorist, he doesn’t go to Gitmo? So, really, this illustrates that it is more effective for the jihad to be conducted by the American born.
