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.

Rogers, a former FBI special agent who served in the U.S. Army, just returned from Afghanistan and a visit to Bagram Air Base, where he said the rights are being read.

The Obama administration announced this week that some detainees captured and held abroad have been read Miranda rights to preserve evidence for a potential prosecution.

Administration officials say the Bush administration did this as well in some instances relating to certain criminal cases.

They would not offer specifics in any of the cases, whether under President Obama or President Bush.

...but they balk at reading a detainee his rights?

Bizarre...:crazy:

nuff said.

and it's time to put the Stratego away. This "creating chaos in the field" b.s. is ridiculous. The CIC has spoken.

They are entitled to the same rights as all Americans.

. . . then perhaps these CIA, FBI and military personnel need to have their own rights read to them.

:thumbsup:

That would be a first step.

Because justice is gonna stomp you good.

now there is three reputable news sources...

anyway..as noted in other posts-- these sources did`t bitch about bush doing the same thing......

A former FBI agent who managed to get elected to Congress by the Rethugs in Michigan. He is steadfastly retrograde and neolithic in his thinking. I wouldn't believe a word he says if his tounge came notarized. Just more bullshit from the masters of propaganda...:puke:

I say go. Swift proper justice will remove the martyr label. It will add to US prestige, and signal that we are going after the head, not the tail.. We could have had Osama up on charges and LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG dead by now, ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD the Taliban would be dancing to our tune. Had we acc epted the offer to allow Sharia Justice to deal with his crimes. He would have been tried in Saudi Arabia. Clean, just, sure. And NOOOOOO martyr's. We could have posthumously convicted him of being Satan. Whatthefukever. Law is a better judge than War ALWAYYYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. And Clinton's catch, sure puts the lie to terrorists being toooooooooooooo dangerous for us to jail here. And if , by chance, they are inncorrect, that those rights DONT apply, So What.

who should not covered by the US constitution and have no right since they are captured on foreign land.
