Brennan: Deal 'on the table' for terror suspect
The U.S. Government is offering the suspect charged with attempting to bomb an aircraft on Christmas Day, Omar Abdulmutallab, some kind of incentives to share what he knows about Al Qaeda, White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said Sunday.
Asked why Abdulmutallab should cooperate given his right, as criminal defendant, to remain silent, Brennan replied: "He doesn't have to but he knows there are certain things that are on the table... if he wants to engage with us in a productive manner, there are ways he can do that." Asked if Abdulmutallab's willingness to talk changed once he had an attorney, Brennan declined to answer. "I'm not going to address what he did before or after he talked with a lawyer," the adviser said. Brennan declined to say what criteria are used to decide whether a prisoner should be taken into criminal court or before a military commission. "There are no downsides or upsides in particular cases," he said. "What we're trying to do is make the right determination in particular cases." http://www.politico.com/singletitlev...id=60127152001 Posted by Josh Gerstein 09:43 AM http://www.politico.com/blogs/politi...r_suspect.html#

Perfect example of why it is 100% IDIOTIC to permit these people to have the privileges of our national legal system.
Brennan argued, today, that the reason this was a good idea was that we were successful in prosecuting Reid (aka shoe bomber). But, Reid was a US citizen. This little twirp is not and should not be treated as such. |
