In general support the way Obama has managed Abu Khatalla. But how can you claim public safety ex for guy who's been blathering for 2 years?

@emptywheel Sounds like they have enough to convict him already anyway. That's what they were waiting for before they captured him. -
@BradMossEsq Yes. That falls into "general support for way O has handled Khaltalla." But public safety NOT meant to help HIG use isolation. -
@BradMossEsq Uh, yes. High Value Interrogation Group? You're unfamiliar with the concept? Or how they use public safety exception? -
@emptywheel I'm still not seeing issue. Miranda is an evidentiary exclusion rule. We captured a terrorist. We don't want him interrogated? -
@BradMossEsq The issue is a method HIG uses to achieve methods that prolly would not be permissible/possible under normal circumstances. -
@emptywheel That's the point. These aren't normal circumstances. -
@BradMossEsq We used to be able to arrest people and bring them to trial w/o this period of dubious interrogation. FBI is stupider now? - 1 more reply

@emptywheel "Public safety" is an elastic concept. -
@BradMossEsq Yes, as are our jurisdictional claims. Neither is defensible from a rule of law standpoint, though. -
@emptywheel The exception or the elastic definition?

@emptywheel And this is all moot if they don't use any of these pre-Miranda statements against him at trial.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
