Poll: Why does the Obama Administration insist on giving Miranda Rights to Terrorists?
We got lucky this time. Accused Times Square almost-bomber Faisal Shazbot is apparently still talking to authorities after he learned that (as someone arrested in America) he has Miranda rights. But he doesn’t have to keep talking. Part of the Miranda warning is a reminder that the Fifth Amendment says that you can refuse to incriminate yourself by not talking. Why would the Obama Administration ever remind terrorists of their rights? What are your Good Common Two Cents?
Why does President Obama insist on giving you Miranda rights? That’s what you’re asking, you know.
Offhand, I can’t think of any reason. Can you?
