I agree with Matt Taibbi. This new talk of suspending Miranda rights for terrorist suspects is ridiculous. It's not going to make it any more efficient to interrogate these guys (though it might make it more difficult to convict them) and it's only being discussed because some people have a bogus notion of what it means to "get tough" with the bad guys. The Obama Administration is trying to pacify those who will never be pacified…and the whole thing's going to blowback and harm everyone. I'd like to hear if anyone who actually has to interrograte suspected bombers thinks that "Mirandizing" someone is in any way an obstacle to getting the job done.
