Miranda Rights for High-Level "Combatants"
 
Flipping ridiculous ...

So over in Afghanistan, when we capture an enemy (especially a high-value target) the brain-dead BHO Administration has ordered our troops to read Miranda Rights to these terrorists!?!

What next, first-class tickets on flights back to the US for a court hearing?

I know our resident BHO apologizer will do his best to spin it ... but this is ridiculous. And it shows how much a novice this president and the administration is; and how ignorant they are when it comes to the war on terror.

This is war ... not some stupid traffic stop.

It sounds like this would actually be a wise move... especially with high level combatants.

We are America... and we do have a judicial system that has rules to abide by.

If the soldiers read them their miranda rights then we have now ensured that the technicality of ensuring they were properly mirandized has been taken care of. People have been released because they were not properly mirandized.

Does it not seem prudent to ensure that this is made a firm part of policy so that there is one less technicality that a true high level combatant might get released on?

Doesn't that just mess up military tactics? The articles states and I agree -

Quote:

Rogers adds: “The problem is you take that guy at three in the morning off of a compound right outside of Kabul where he’s building bomb materials to kill US soldiers, and read him his rights by four, and the Red Cross is saying take the lawyer – you have now created quite a confusion amongst the FBI, the CIA and the United States military. And confusion is the last thing you want in a combat zone.”

One thing is clear, though. A detainee who is not talking cannot provide information about future attacks. Had Khalid Sheikh Mohammad had a lawyer, Tenet wrote, “I am confident that we would have obtained none of the information he had in his head about imminent threats against the American people.”

That would depend on whether he walked free later on because we did not uphold our own rule of law.

I want to give a big shout-out and thank you to all those who simply voted for BHO ---- to take a part in history.

Who cares about his record....
Who cares about his qualifications...
Who cares about experience...
Who cares about his socialist leanings...

Shoot, they just wanted to vote the first African American as President.

Thanks, morons. Do me and others a favor ... don't ever vote again. The ignorance of voters on the issues is and will continue to cause this country to pay dearly.

I think it's politicizing military manuvers and I don't agree with it.

Miranda is a court created "right" it is a bunch of nonsense. We sure don't need to be extending already bad law beyond our borders. We didn't have to Mirandize before the 1966 and a 5-4 SC decision.

It would seem that this would take place in the aftermath of military maneuvers.
