Gibbs: The FBI Learned All It Could About Abdulmutallab in a 50-Minute Interview

Stephen Hayes, Weekly Standard "Senator Lindsey Graham asked Attorney General Eric Holder about this at a congressional hearing in November."Let me ask you this. Let's say we capture him tomorrow. When does custodial interrogation begin in his case? If we captured bin Laden tomorrow, would he be entitled to Miranda warning at the moment of capture?"Holder responded: "Again, I'm not -- that all depends."It depends. Eric Holder can imagine a scenario in which a U.S. government official reads Osama bin Laden his Miranda rights at the moment of capture.Remember all of this the next time you hear an Obama administration official insist that we are at war with al Qaeda."
