If the information in the NYT link is accurate he would have still been read Miranda rights even if taken as a enemy combatant.

At first it seemed ignorant to not read him his rights immediately but several Freepers explanations make sense.
get what info on other they could.even if it is low level muslims it is a lead to start on

I hope that is why and I hope a Judge can’t throw everything he says, even after lawyering up, out.

I do not think that enemy combatants get their Miranda rights read to them, I do not think we read it to any of the terrorist in Gitmo when they were captured on the battlefield. This Detroit plane terrorist is an enemy combatant and it is stupid to read him his Miranda rights as a matter of principle and Constitution. He should be court Marshalled and executed after that.
