US Now Mirandizing Detainees in Afghanistan

How crazy is this? I heard this twice yesterday on radio news and thought, Obama and his minions can’t be this nuts! Aw, how wrong can a person be. I even messaged with a friend who is Special Ops in Afghanistan to ask about it and he had heard nothing. Now I know why.

U.S. Lawmaker Says Obama Administration Ordered FBI to Read Rights to Detainees
The move is reportedly creating chaos in the field among the CIA, FBI and military personnel, according to Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich.

A senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee is accusing the Obama administration of quietly ordering the FBI to start reading Miranda rights to suspected terrorists at U.S. military detention facilities in Afghanistan.

The move is reportedly creating chaos in the field among the CIA, FBI and military personnel, according to Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich. The soldiers, especially, he says, are frustrated that giving high value detainees Miranda rights — the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney — is impeding their ability to pursue intelligence on the battlefield, according to a story first reported by the Weekly Standard.

“What I found was lots of confusion and very frustrated people on the front lines who are trying to, well, make Afghanistan successful for the United States and its allies,” said Rogers, who serves on the House Intelligence Committee.

It’s becoming more and more obvious to me that Obama and crew care more for Islamic jihadists than American Soldiers. That was supremely evident with the shooting of Pvt William Long at the Little Rock,Ar. recruiting office by Carl Beldsoe/Abdul Hakim Muhammad. To Obama, this was nothing more than a “senseless act”.

When Robert Gibbs was questioned about this today:

Asked if the Obama administration had ordered that Miranda rights be read to certain detainees, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, “I have no reason to disbelieve a member of Congress. But I don’t know any of the circumstances that are involved around it.”

But Gibbs acknowledged that it wouldn’t be a surprise to find out that it was happening.

Yet Obama in his March 60 Minutes interview said that detainees didn’t deserve Miranda Rights. Another situation with Obama where it isn’t what he says, it’s what he does. He’s like the magician, diverting your view to the other shiny object so you miss the illusion of the trick.
