You've seen enough movies and TV to know it: 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 speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense.
Praise be to Allah! thinks the terrorist. I'm told I'll get a lawyer I don't have to pay for, a trip to America, and I don't have to tell them I have a bomb going off in the synagogue during services tomorrow, and I won't get waterboaded. Allah is great indeed!
Just to measure how effective this loving, fair, just system is of dealing with terroists (let's just be nice to them and they'll be nice to us), here's the results from a couple countries already trying this approach. In the United Kingdom, of the 1,471 individuals arrested for alleged terrorist acts since September 11, 2001, only 340 suspects were charged with a terrorism-related crime. Of those 340 charged, only 196 terrorists were convicted. That means that the UK only achieved a 14% conviction rate for terrorism-related crimes. In the Netherlands where of the 153 individuals arrested for terrorism-related crimes since 9/11, 44 individuals were charged and only 20 individuals were convicted of terrorism, or just 13%.
So that's the true way to deal with anti-semitic, anti-democratic, anti-Christian murderous thugs. Be nice, be fair, give them full blown protections that US citizens have. Mirandizing enemy soldiers on the battlefield. I'm going to have a heart attack.
