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.

Yeah, I would definitely say that it would create chaos.  And imagine how this process affects our ability to gather intelligence.  I shudder to think that we cannot get anymore information from a high value target without his lawyer being present, thereby potentially putting many more soldiers and civilians at risk.

Besides, doesn’t Miranda only apply to American citizens in the U.S.?  Jeez, can you imagine what it would have been like at during World War II or Vietnam if we had to Mirandize those prisoners of War?

What are these guys thinking???

Chavez says Comrade Obama more left-wing

Got to love this, when Comrade Chavez make jokes about Obama’s socialist agenda…

During one of Chavez’s customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM’s bankruptcy filing, which is expected to give the U.S. government a 60 percent stake in the 100-year-old former symbol of American might.

"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez joked on a live television broadcast.
