Miranda Rights

Eric Holder (US Attorney Gen) wants to spend $200M to put one terrorist on trial here in the US instead of using a Military Tribunal.  He says they want to give him a fair trial.  Then we have Robert Gibbs (WH Press Secretary) who openly says his will stand trial and he will be executed.  Is all this ignorant or what!? If this terrorist stands trial and they apply US law, he could potentially get off on a technicality!  Dumber things have happened!  One reason is that he was not read his Miranda rights when he was captured.  Now what little law I do know is that if you aren't read those rights when you are arrested - nothing said may be used against you and you could walk!

Finally, Gen. Jones, a retired four-star Marine general, told the paper that Obama "certainly doesn't want that third strike, and neither does anybody else."  Duh! What amazes me is even this trained military expert would rather tone down the attacks by equating them to baseball game jargon!  How utterly ridiculous!  I really feel safe now that they will again start checking the 99.99% of us passengers for fingernail clippers and tweezers and make you pour out your starbucks.  We're spending bi...
