Holder's Slippery Slope: Denying Miranda Rights on the Way to Torture
Attorney General Eric Holder announced yesterday that the Obama administration will move to make the Miranda law more flexible for people facing accusations of terror. The debate over whether or not to Mirandize terrorism suspects has been renewed by the case of Faisal Shahzad, the American citizen who attempted to detonate a bomb in Time Square last week.
When asked on "Meet the Press" about gathering information from terrorism suspects, Holder said, "We certainly need more flexibility and we want the 'public safety exception' to be consistent with the public safety concerns that we now have in the 21st Century."
