Feds detail Christmas Day attack
WRAL ^ | January 24, 2010

Posted on 01/24/2010 10:56:49 AM PST by NCjim

For hours after allegedly trying to use a bomb hidden in his underwear to blow up a Christmas Day flight to Detroit, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab talked and talked – to Customs officers, medical personnel and FBI agents.

...

The bomb had severely burned Abdulmutallab, but he was still conscious. As he was taken from the scene, federal agents repeatedly interviewed him or heard him speak to others. When they read him his legal rights nearly 10 hours after the incident, he went silent.

...

Here is what officials say happened:

The suspect went into surgery and would not be questioned again for more than five hours.

That part is a little unclear; he came out of surgery, was conscious but still under the influence of pain medication, and the FBI freely decided not to question him during that period --by "being nice" they wasted time. He was NOT mirandized and/or lawyered up during that time.

Later they Mirandized him and he shut up for good. Err...he shut up permanently.

In a way Donks are like muzzies.

Not one rat has stood up to denounce the mistake of reading this guy his so called rights. And since the reading he has gone silent.

muzzies never stand to denounce the attacks other muzzies do to every one else

We have an administration that does not care to make an attempt to keep its own citizens safe, although that is one of the main jobs of the President of the United States. One of the first things 0bama did when he took office was to dismantle our intelligence capabilities. His administration was out to lunch when the Fort Hood shooter did his terrorist act, and was out to lunch again when the terrorist Abdulmatallab tried to blow up the airliner over Detroit. His administration releases Muslim terrorists from the prison at Guantanamo Bay to Yemen and to Algeria so they can get back into the business of killing Americans.

Since 0bama continues in this dereliction of his most important duty, it will be up to us, up to each American citizen, to do what we can to keep ourselves safe from Muslim terrorism; individually or in groups. We need to keep our eyes open to what is happening around us; we need to take the initiative to call bullshit on the politically-correct nonsense we hear and read every day. We need to vote against incumbent politicians who go along with the head-in-the-sand political correctness. We are on our own here, and we cannot count on the Government, we cannot count on the 0bama administration for help.

Each one of us may be in the position of the airline passengers who took down the hijacked airliner in Pennsylvania or the Dutch filmmaker who jumped on Abdulmatallab on the Detroit-bound flight. Liberty has a cost, and in these days of incompetent government we need to remember that.

. . . special unit of terror specialists that the Obama administration said early last year it would create to deal with terror suspects captured abroad.

Last week, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair said the unit should have been called in after Abdulmutallab's arrest. Even if federal officials wanted to expand its use to domestic cases, though, the special team was not ready for action, FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress last week.

But of course, it's Bush's fault.

My guess the ‘news’ that he talked and talked is just a ruse to cover the big mess up of handling him and the case.

Now they’re telling us that their handling of the case wasn’t so bad, we got the info anyway.

It’s sad, but my first response to anything they say is BS. It was that way with Bush too, but this guy has raised it to new heights!

Mr. Pete, you might want to take a little trip to Dearbornaistan. I bet you could find all kinds of muslims who hate America and Christians and Jews. The Muslims already have a large beach head in the U.S. right there in Dearboristan....

Humm, that gives me a great idea to get him to talk: show him some porn and bring in a stripper to do a lap dance....with severe burns down there he would be singing like a canary if he got an erection.
