Captured Al-Qaeda Mastermind Behind the Embassy Bombings Will Be Read His Miranda Rights



Miranda Rights Waived For Suspected al Qaeda Operative Abu Anas al-Libi -- Washington Times

U.S. authorities will interrogate suspected al Qaeda operative Abu Anas al-Libi aboard an American warship without reading him his rights, officials said Monday.

Al-Libi was captured from the streets of the Libyan capital of Tripoli in a U.S. military raid over the weekend. He will be in military custody for several more days or weeks aboard the USS San Antonio in the Mediterranean Sea, NBC News reported.

U.S. officials hope to get information about al Qaeda’s operations in Libya, but none of what al-Libi says can be used in a trial. The FBI could read him his Miranda rights later and seek to question him again, the report said.

My Comment: By not reading Abu Anas al-Libi his Miranda rights they are hoping that he will then "spill the beans" on Al Qaeda's operations in Libya knowing that such information can then not be used against him in his court case. This is unreal .... how can this foreign terrorist have any rights under the U.S. legal system? Sighhh .... I guess this is now standard U.S. policy on how they should conduct counter-terrorism operations. But here is an easy prediction .... Abu Anas al-Libi is going to plead that he is innocent, and he will give them zero intel.
