Look. There is no way, this punk is going to escape the law. We have him, the evidence is overwhelming and he's going away forever. At least if Miranda is read, it's one less thing the defense can use. Where is the harm? If there is a connection to an actual terror organization, we can find out anyways whether he talks or not. The whole thing about torture and so on is reactionary and emotional, IMHO.

The desire to put him on trial in a military court is illegal. He is a civilian. Moreover, any intelligence gained by his interrogation and trial will be shared with the military and various intelligence agencies. Right wing pundits to the contrary, prosecution via civilian court and intelligence gathering is not mutually exclusive.


Are these the same people upset with the drone attacks against turncoat terrorists killed by the Obama Administration in Yemen? Talk about inconsistent.....


I am sure if we find out that this asshole was connected to an overseas group the drones will be sent forthwith....unless the terrorist group is in Russia...that could be a major problem....I do not know if Obama would strike in Russian territory.....I guess we will have to see.
