Instead, the intelligence services will have time to extract any information about potential future operations targeting Americans from Abu Anas al-Libi, one of the US most-wanted terrorists for 15 years:

    No, no. This way all charges against him can be tossed and he will be set free with money for damages for violating his rights.

    why are these operations in Somalia and Libya being publicized. Surely not to divert attention from the many and ongoing WH miscues??

    As a non-US citizen, does he have the Miranda right?

    Sound good to me. Personally, I’d be interrogating him first with babble juice, then with hot irons.

    All world citizens have US Miranda rights... it’s settled [international] law.

Bin Laden all over again and the news media cooperate rather than investigate.

    This catch a terrorist game is all about boosting his poll numbers. It’s always political with this guy.

    Yet they plan on giving him a civilian trial in New York?
That seems problematic.

    As a non-US citizen, does he have the Miranda right? Well, the SCOTUS said so on June 12, 2008.
