Tweedledum & Tweedledummer are at it again
The Sunday Talk Show response to intelligent conversation are at it again, this time trying to pretend that an angry older brother and his loyal younger brother are a terraist cell.
Sens. Graham and McCain already jumped the gun Saturday, calling the terrorist an enemy combatant and suggesting in that WMD way that he was connected to terrorist cells.They may not want him to remain silent, but he does have that right, despite their best efforts.
In a statement, Republican Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) (joined by Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Congressman Peter King (R-NY)) called for the Boston suspect to be declared an enemy combatant. Their statement, in part, reads:
“The suspect, based upon his actions, clearly is a good candidate for enemy combatant status. We do not want this suspect to remain silent.
“We are encouraged our High value detainee interrogation team (HIG) is now involved and working to gather intelligence about how these terrible acts were committed and possibility of future attacks.Utter rubbish, as we have come to expect from these two over the years. There is no reason to maintain the level of fear they are trying to generate. If anything, the government needs to bend over backwards not to compromise the prosecutions case by paying any attention to these two gibbering gerbils.
“A decision to not read Miranda rights to the suspect was sound and in our national security interests.
“However, we have concerns that limiting this investigation to 48 hours and exclusively relying on the public safety exception to Miranda, could very well be a national security mistake. It could severely limit our ability to gather critical information about future attacks from this suspect.
“We should be focused on gathering intelligence from this suspect right now that can help our nation understand how this attack occurred and what may follow in the future. That should be our focus, not a future domestic criminal trial that may take years to complete.
