Re: the following story One reader comment, as semi-literate as it is, seems to me to have hot the nail on the head : "I bet he was read his rights so soon to protect the neoIslam supporters.
BTW, I think his mom is a nut job." About the mother being off the rails, that is unarguable. The woman is in shock, reacting with paranoia and denial. The obvious doesn't even occur to her, serious belief in Islam makes people do sick and immoral things that may result in death. Instead of blaming the United States, she should be blaming Islam. Who clearly is not blaming Islam is Obama. As he said in his book, in any showdown he will take the side of the Muslims. He has done exactly this in the past and is doing it again. The FBI had 48 hours under the law to interrogate Dzhokhar. In the 16 actual hours they were given before the WH intervened, he was spilling the beans on all kinds of things, like the plan to set off bombs in Times Square. The suspicion is hard to shake that Obama was told that Dzhokhar was starting to implicate the Saudis in some way, or making a connection to Islam too overt for "everyone's good" and that, at that point, Obama said, words to the effect, " we have got to stop this --NOW" What makes better sense ? Billy ------------------------------------ PJ Media from : _The ‘Public Safety’ Follies_ (http://pjmedia.com/andrewmccarthy/2013/04/25/the-public-safety-follies/) by Andrew C. McCarthy April 25th, 2013 - It has now been _reported_ (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/25/tamerlan-tsarnaev-vowed-to-die-for-islam-judge-prematurely-stopped-brother/) by Fox’s Megyn Kelly that the FBI’s interrogation of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was short-circuited when the Justice Department arranged for him to be given a presentment hearing in the hospital. In point of fact, it was not the hearing that caused the suspension of vital intelligence-gathering. It was the Obama Justice Department’s decision over the weekend immediately to file a criminal charge against Tsarnaev. Once that was done, the presentment hearing was inevitable. It is required by Rule 5 of the federal rules of criminal procedure. An arrested person must be brought before the nearest available magistrate. The purpose of the proceeding is to get him out of the clutches of law enforcement, have a neutral judicial officer advise him of what he’s been charged with, make certain that he has counsel assigned, and – most significantly – ensure that he knows he is under no obligation to make statements to the police and that, if he has already made some statements, he may stop. >From a national security standpoint, there was no good reason to file a criminal charge so soon and thus trigger procedures that, as everyone involved in the decision well knew, would stop the interrogation. The only reason to do it is political: The Obama administration is philosophically hostile to the law-of-war counterterrorism paradigm. It is determined to regard every terrorist as a criminal defendant rather than an enemy combatant – even if there may be evidence connecting the detained terrorist to our wartime enemies and thus justifying, at least temporarily, an enemy-combatant designation that would allow interrogation to continue for intelligence purposes. -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
