Times Square Bomber Revives Miranda Rights Controversy
The Miranda Rights controversy has to do with whether or not suspected terrorists should be read their rights has come back months after it originated with the Christmas Day bomber. Soon after Faisal Shahzad was arrested Tuesday in the Times Square bomb investigation, bloggers, politicians and pundits raised a chatter about whether law enforcement officials should have read Shahzad his rights. Since he is a naturalized American citizen from Pakistan, Faisal Shahzad should have his Miranda rights read to him.
Miranda rights and the Christmas day bomber
When Christmas Bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was read his Miranda rights after his arrest last year, the Miranda rights controversy began. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab intended to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight on its approach to Detroit from Amsterdam but succeeded only in lighting his pants on fire like a cheap pay day loan. Republican lawmakers, according to sfgate.com, have criticized the administration for not consulting the heads of U.S. intelligence agencies before FBI agents read the 23-year-old Abdulmutallab his Miranda rights. They say valuable intelligence was lost due to the decision.
Miranda rights and the Times Square bomber
When Faisal Shahzad was arrested in connection with the Time Square bomb on Tuesday, MSNBC reported that Republican politicians used the occasion to start again the Miranda rights controversy. Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said in a speech on the senate floor "Hopefully, the appropriate officials are using this opportunity to exploit as much intelligence as he may have about his overseas connections and any other plots against Americans either here or abroad."
Miranda rights debate controversy
Strange bedfellows on both sides were created by arguments in the media about the Miranda rights controversy. On the Caucus Blog at the New York Times, Maria Newman reports that John McCain said on the “Imus in the Morning” program that it would be a “serious mistake’’ to tell Mr. Shahzad that under the 1966 decision in Miranda v. Arizona, that he had a right to an attorney before answering any questions, “at least until we find out as much information we have.”
Absurdities in the Miranda rights controversy
Commenting about the Miranda rights controversy, Glen Beck suggested that "This is no time to shred the constitution," on Fox News. Amanda Terkel at Think Progress showed all of her disbelief on Beck's comments, writing: Believe it or not, Fox News analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano and host Glenn Beck are condemning the type of fearmongering that King and McCain are doing. Adam Serwer at Tapped on americanprospect.com also had something to say about these comments from Senator Joe Lieberman:
I think it’s time for us to look at whether we want to amend that law to apply it to American citizens who choose to become affiliated with foreign terrorist organizations, whether they should not also be deprived automatically of their citizenship, and therefore be deprived of rights that come with that citizenship when they are apprehended and charged with a terrorist act.
Serwer called Lieberman's comments "really absurd." If Lieberman listened to himself, he would realize that he advocates stripping people of American citizenship based on mere suspicion of a crime, “There’s no benefit to denying Shahzad due process, Serwer said, "but doing so might create significant problems down the road. So put away the pitchforks already.”
