I want to talk today about yet another controversy that is building under the current administration. It seems a few months ago, a Somali soldier/militant was arrested in the war zone by our military according to Military law. Now it appears our President and his administration have confused this “enemy combatant” with an American citizen, and have brought him to NYC for a civilian trial claiming he was not “Mirandized.” I’m sorry! So now every citizen of the world falls under the same legal protection as an American citizen???
I AM NOT A LAWYER, so please don’t hold me to legal details here, but I have a serious problem with this line of thinking. He was captured BY THE MILITARY, in a WAR ZONE, and therefore falls under the rules of the Geneva Convention … which to my knowledge, does not include Miranda rights. Miranda right center on two things: the right to legal representation and the right to remain silent.
So Obama brings this guy to NYC to be tried in a civilian court? What does the average American citizen know of “war zone” mentality and conduct?
“President Barack Obama’s administration has come under fire by Republicans, and even some fellow Democrats, over his decision to prosecute some terrorism suspects in criminal courts and not in military courts, where rules for evidence are looser.
“In Washington, another senior administration official said Obama’s national security team had unanimously recommended the prosecution of Warsame in a criminal court.
“After his interrogation, a fresh FBI team came in and was permitted to talk with Warsame, at which time he waived his legal rights and continued to talk for several days, an official, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Reuters news agency.”
I want to draw a comparison here – a corollary between the “injustice” of the Casey Anthony trial and the proposed trial of this Somali militant.

I don’t know. I’m NOT a legal professional! Maybe that’s why it seems so clear to me, eh?
“The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Republican Representative Buck McKeon of California said the transfer “directly contradicts congressional intent and the will of the American people.” EXACTLY!
