Miranda Rights for Terrorists???

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights?"

Anyone who has ever watched a cop show, or had the misfortune of having them personally read to you, has heard these rights before. Most of us could probably recite them from memory very easily.

These are the Miranda Rights we , as citizens of the United States, have that protect us from self-incrimination. Our 5th amendment rights were fortified with the ruling of the Supreme Court in 1966, which instituted the reading of Miranda Rights to any U.S. citizen taken into custody.

Miranda Rights were nothing new, but were simply a re-statement of our 5th amendment rights.

Now that we have a very condensed history of Miranda Rights out of the way, we come to the reason I'm writing this article.

President Obama has ordered the FBI and the CIA to read any terrorist taken into custody, worldwide, Miranda Rights. What?!?!?!

Let me say that again. Our President has ordered the FBI and the CIA to read captured terrorists Miranda Rights. Even after typing it a 2nd time, I'm still at a loss.

First off, these terrorists are not U.S. citizens. They have no "right" to Miranda Rights under our law. How in the world does the President expect us to ever get any information out of these captured terrorists when first, our soldiers have had the ability to force coercion taken away, with water boarding (not torture) being banned, and now the President wants terrorists explicitly warned not to talk. RIDICULOUS!!!

I'm not quite sure what President Obama is up to when it comes to captured terrorists. First he sends these captured Chinese terrorists, who were being detained in Guantanamo Bay, to live on a beautiful tropical island called Palau, near the Philippines. And now, he's affording terrorists, caught on the field of battle, rights they have no "right" to.

If this wasn't such a sad commentary on the stupidity in Washington, it would be funny.

Hey, I have a solution for our homeless problem in America. Just have all the homeless people make terrorist threats, then they can be detained and sent off to live out their lives on a tropical island.

Please, please. I beg you. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! And smell what BARACK is cooking.

I'll be typin' at ya later,
