Obama's Miranda Promises, and their expiration date

Senator Obama's scornful look at the suggestion that he would offer terrorists Miranda rights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqE3j10keLc President Obama's reiteration that he would not offer terrorists Miranda rights. http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/ david/obama-fires-back-cheney-60-minutes Quote from the Weekly Standard post of June 10, 2009, indicating that we are now offering captured foreign terrorists in Afghanistan Miranda rights. "...the Obama Justice Department has quietly ordered FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high value detainees captured and held at U.S. detention facilities in Afghanistan, according a senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee. 'The administration has decided to change the focus to law enforcement. Here’s the problem. You have foreign fighters who are targeting US troops today – foreign fighters who go to another country to kill Americans. We capture them…and they’re reading them their rights – Mirandizing these foreign fighters,' says Representative Mike Rogers, who recently met with military, intelligence and law enforcement officials on a fact-finding trip to Afghanistan." http://www.weeklystandard.com /weblogs/TWSFP/2009/06/ miranda_rights_for_terrorists.asp
