"The Law of War allows us to hold individual in this scenario as
potential enemy combatant w/o Miranda warnings or appointment of
counsel."

"The goal is to gather intelligence and protect our nation which is
under threat from radical Islam."

-- Sen. Lindsey Graham at GrahamBlog


"A senior Justice Department official told ABC News that federal law
enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception to the
Miranda rights, so that Tsarnaev will be questioned immediately
without having Miranda rights issued to him."

"The federal government's high value detainee interrogation group will
be responsible for questioning him." -- ABC News

Dubious claim, at best.

I think this was a smart move (I know Alan Derschowitz disagrees, but
he's a born defense lawyer). No need to read this guy his Miranda rights
at all.

Spot on, Bill. Many's the guy I've arrested and have ask me, "Aren’t you going to read me my Miranda Rights?"

"What for? I caught you red handed and don't have any questions."

"I am a racist. I hate niggers and spics and slants. I was born here. We are not Africans. They stand on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: These knuckleheads say, Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be... These lower economic people are not holding up their end. These People put their clothes on backward, their hats on backward, pants down around the crack. With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap. The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans. What part of Africa did they come from? We have got to take the neighborhoods back. I should have included kikes and lesbos too. Put all of them are in jail."

jfc jerry, what if he confesses to some totally unrelated crime and now
your failure to give Miranda has poisoned the tree of that investigation?

I've brought this up before. People should refrain from responding to
Jerry until he rids his posts of that very offensive "signature line".

Turd blithered:
Spot on, Bill. Many's the guy I've arrested and have ask me,
"Aren�t you going to read me my Miranda Rights?"
"What for? I caught you red handed and don't have any questions."

I wrote:
Is that why you were only a sheriff for a year and a half?

The exception to not reading the Miranda rights is used in a situation
of public safety, where questioning the suspect for further information
may save lives, etc.

And your "red handed" part: in court, the defendants lawyer would surely
have a different view of whether it was "red handed." Not to mention the
fact that you'd be required to read the Miranda rights upon an arrest,
sans the exception.

You just "made up" that crap as a "smart remark," right ? Even you're
not that stupid. And if you just made it up, you're very close to being
that stupid.


But on the topic at hand, this terrorist doesn't have to be determined
to be an enemy combatant to question him without "Miranda rights" if
it's, as mentioned, a public safety situation.

The point is, it's doubtful that the Obama administration (that doesn't
even recognize a "Bushian" "War On Terror") will have him tried before a
military tribunal; and what's happened so far (no immediate Miranda
rights) is really no indication to the contrary.

McCain and Graham are just grandstanding in pretending that they're
conservatives on an "easy one" as usual, because they know damn well
that an "enemy combatant" status isn't going to happen under Obama.

jfc opie, how many times do you plan on giving this guy the death
penalty? While I have mixed feelings about the death penalty, I firmly
believe it should only be administered once to any given convict.

Still, the point of not giving Miranda rights in that scenario is to
gather intelligence to prevent future terrorism, not to gather evidence
to prosecute the person being "interviewed". Any evidence garnered sans
Miranda rights would not be admissible in civilian court.

JFC, O, play your silly WHAT-IF games with others.

"I am a racist. I hate niggers and spics and slants. I was born here. We are not Africans. They stand on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: These knuckleheads say, Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be... These lower economic people are not holding up their end. These People put their clothes on backward, their hats on backward, pants down around the crack. With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap. The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans. What part of Africa did they come from? We have got to take the neighborhoods back. I should have included kikes and lesbos too. Put all of them are in jail."

And you should refrain from telling others what you think they should do to make you happy.

You remain a fool and, as above, continually wrong. The only reason I occasionally read and reply to your posts is to bitch-slap you for the entertainment of other.

It was actually routine to NOT Mirandized people we were questioning. There are situations where I would refuse being Mirandized because I would want to make the police aware of aspects of the situation without being held accountable for that information. Then I would allow myself to be Mirandized.

You stupid fuck. If the DA even considered having to ask the perp a something important, pertaining to hanging the fuck, and before he has a lawyer, he'd Mirandized him. They always do.

Ha. You're ignorance is limitless. I'm off to the casino for a poker tournament. You remain here and stew in your ignorance.

Lol, well, Turd, unfortunately for you (as usual), as you stated "many's
the guy I arrested" you're caught in your own web of idiocy.

Reread, and you'll see that that statement wipes-out your entire,
squirming-weasel reply-attempt.
