Well, now we know why Obama doesn't use the term "war on terror" anymore - he doesn't consider terrorism an act of war. Instead, he has taken us back to the days of Bill Clinton, when terrorist acts were treated like a "crime."
In a story reported in The Weekly Standard , Representative Mike Rogers (R-Mich) is accusing the Obama administration of ordering the F.B.I. to read Miranda rights to detainees being held at U.S. military facilities in Afghanistan.
This is creating a great deal of damage on the battlefield, not to mention how it is affecting the security of our military men and women overseas. Said Rogers:
I witnessed it myself, talked to the people on the ground. What you have is two very separate missions colliding in the field in a combat zone. Again, anytime that you offer confusion in that environment that's already chaotic and confusing enough, you jeopardize a soldier's life.
Why would Obama issue such an order? It's all a part of a policy shift referred to as the new "global justice initiative," which was described in a May 28th Los Angeles Times article:

What a jackass!
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.
The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act during peacetime.
The solution is to kill ‘em all - take no prisoners.
This is from the Onion - right? .... right?...
Yes. Shoot to kill first. Worry about giving Miranda rights later.
Giving our enemies Aid and Comfort is treason.

Thanks for re-posting but it still hasn’t made the MSM.
A bullet is a lot less complicated.
In light of this decision coming down 5 to 6 months ago, how does this play with Mr. Holder’s horrendous decision to make the trials of KSM and the other 9.11 conspirators a federal civilian case and not a military case?
This seems to set the table for a mistrial or outright dismissal, based on the fact that none of these animals was mirandized. If they were, please correct me, but I have read nothing about it.
I sure wish someone would connect those dots; that could be extremely uncomfortable for Zero.
The LATimes skirt vchased the issue. The weekly Standard reported this. I just did a search. No AP,politico,MSNBC, no MSM reports.
Agreed, this is precisely why I posted this for this very discussion as well as; of course, the MSM ignored this fact.
Exactly, aiding and abetting terrorists.
“You have the right to remain silent - permanently!”
I have read where the 9/11 terrorists are all lawyered up and it has been insinuated that the terrorists were tortured and treated so badly and not read their miranda rights. So logic prevails they would walk scott free AFTER BUSH/CHENEY/CIA are put on trial for torture.
I pray not but the writings on the wall.
You just documented article 1 of an impeachment trial of Barack Hussein Obama.
Miranda rights to jihadis on the battlefield? First i’d heard of this. Maybe Andrea Mitchell will fact-check this for us. ;o)
