President Miranda

President Obama may have a measure of vindication in his (to me) incomprehensible decision to read the Nigerian terrorist his Miranda "rights":

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's cooperation could prove to be a national security victory and a political vindication for President Barack Obama, who has been under fire from lawmakers who contend the administration botched the case by giving Abdulmutallab the right to remain silent, rather than interrogating him as a military prisoner.

If the guy talks, for whatever reason, it's a victory for us all, including Obama. But I still think it's a wrong-headed policy.
