"'Serious mistake' if car bombing suspect was Mirandized"

[unixronin]

So says John McCain of the attempted Times Square carbomber.  Because then we'd have to prosecute him through the criminal justice system and he'll have, like, rights and stuff, instead of treating him as an "enemy combatant".  Because we've just gotten SO MUCH vitally important intelligence out of all the "detainees" we've been storing indefinitely at Guantanamo.

I used to really like McCain, but recently it seems like he's off his meds.

I used to have a fair bit of respect for him, a long time ago. Then he kinda lost his way, to the point that when the GOP ran him against Obama I pretty much took it as a sign that they figured the election was already lost whoever they ran, so they could let him have his turn and not lose anything.
