Abdulmutallab interrogated for less than an hour; White House defends handling of terrorist case
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/24/10 | Byron York

Posted on 01/24/2010 8:58:02 PM PST by Nachum

The White House is not disputing a report that FBI agents questioned accused Northwest Airlines bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab for just 50 minutes before deciding to grant him the right to remain silent and provide him with a court-appointed lawyer -- a decision that led Abdulmutallab to stop talking and provide no more information.

The news came in an Associated Press reconstruction of Abdulmutallab's first hours in custody. The AP reported that Abdulmutallab "repeatedly made incriminating statements" to U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who originally took him into custody. Then Abdulmutallab made more statements to doctors who were treating him for burns and other injuries. Only later did FBI agents interview him -- a session that lasted, according to the Associated Press, for "about 50 minutes."

When the muzzies attack again, and they will with these incompent boobs running the show, I think the casualties will be much higher. There is no spinning that all but libs feel less safe now.

I don’t hope for another attack, but its what I feel is going to happen. Bush wasn’t perfect, but we knew he was trying hard to keep this country safe.

With these dems in charge, I think they are secretly happy when we are attacked. Less people to harm their mother Gaia and all that crapola.

I think that reading the rights to a terrorist,bomber,enemy combatant should be challenged in supreme court. There is no way that that law is intended for enemy’s of the US especially when we are at war. Can anyone imagine that being conducted in previous wars?
