A senior Justice Department official told ABC News that federal law enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception to the Miranda rights, so that Tsarnaev will be questioned immediately without having Miranda rights issued to him.
The federal government's high value detainee interrogation group will be responsible for questioning him.
The Miranda exemption exists to protect the public safety from another attack, according to the official.

(7,047 posts)You buy that? This is nothing like the 60s and 70s I grew up in.

(11,464 posts)The 60's was over 50 years ago.
In the 60s, the World Trade Center was just a dream.
In the 70s, the World Trade Center was built
In the 80s, Ronald Reagan bankrupt the world
In the 90s, we had a good president
In 2001, the world Trade Center no longer stood.
No, it's not the 1960s.
And, most of the protesters who I admired back then that have lasted, have, like me, evolved into knowning that wasn't the right way to protest.
But then some think the 1950s was a great time.
Not to a great majority of the country, and no, I did not like Ike either.
This is 2013.
and I am not partying like its 1999 either.

(36,063 posts)What then? You just go ahead and employ Cheney's enthusiastic interrogation techniques?
Wouldn't it be better, if you want to DENY someone's constitutional rights to just get a federal magistrate to declare that?

(36,063 posts)Do they think that not reading a person rights granted by the constitution are denied if you don't mention them?
That's preposterously silly.
If what they want is permission to torture the guy, then they ought to invoke Yoo woo that as CIC Obama can do whatever the hell he wants, just like President Cheney.

(7,047 posts)that's my guess with no Miranda.
