According to Representative Mike Rogers (senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee), President Obama has ordered that the FBI read the Miranda rights to all terrorists incarcerated at US military facilities in Afghanistan. He states that soldiers are frustrated by this, feeling that this act hurts their attempts at interrogation.
Ya' think so? Telling the terrorists that they have a right to remain silent causes problems in getting information out of them?
I just don't understand. My reading of the Geneva convention (IF you believe that the terrorists are honest-to-goodness soldiers--in reality, the terrorists would more fit into the "unlawful combatant" catagory) doesn't reveal that POW's have any rights except to be treated decently--fed and housed and all that.
Especially not rights that are for US citizens.
