Why don't they just read him his Miranda rights? Isn't that supposed to happen RIGHT when you get arrested? Why are they explicitly NOT doing this?

Once I knew a Swede who had been taken in by the police for drunken foolishness all over Europe and told me about how in the various countries to tell whether you had been arrested or not. He said it usually involved whether they threw some kind of paper at you that explained your rights or not. That was an interesting conversation.

NO. Miranda warnings rarely are in real life, this is a dramatic tv thing. They are read before questioning about the crime if they want to use it in court. The police used a public safety exemption to this to ask about a narrow topic and ONLY about this topic, are there more bombs anywhere?

He is FREE to remain silent or have a lawyer throughout this entire process. Its a warning not a bestowment of rights that the police are holding back.

I'll see if I can find the research. It wasn't about attitudes to Americans abroad, it was about attitudes towards the US as a nation. A huge amount of the negative attitudes related to what was perceived as "bullying" or unwarranted "interference" by the US in the affairs of other nations, including allied nations.
To elaborate on this a bit:

The wikileaks leak of US embassy communications revealed that the Bush appointed US ambassador to NZ tried to stop a NZ government minister attending a fundraising screening of Fahrenheit 9/11 (which was pretty popular here) because he saw it as anti-American. I think the response of the politicians is pretty telling of a general attitude towards America. Luckily the current US ambassador is far better.

quote:

Opposition leader Phil Goff, who was foreign minister in Clark's left-leaning government, said Swindells only became ambassador because he was a contributor to then US president George W Bush's campaign.

"It's the norm for the Americans to appoint ambassadors that aren't professionals... Charles I think really suffered from a lack of knowledge and a lack of understanding of how countries work and what they do[," he told reporters.

"He had his job because he's obviously a big contributor to the Republican Party. He made the assumption because he thought about the world in a particular way other people might as well."
So yeah, when you get stuff like that even from people whose job it is to make people like America, it tends to affect attitudes towards America. The Bush years really hurt public opinion, I think. When you hear about places like FOX demonising everything "foreign" as bad, it makes you want to say "well gently caress you too". I imagine living within that is far worse, especially if you've already lived somewhere else and so have a basis for comparison.

Do you have a chart or graph of this so I can put it in a spreadsheet?

This isn't the research I'm thinking of, but the Pew Research Centre does polls on global attitudes towards the US. The questions are kept consistent from year to year and cover both cultural and political issues.

http://www.pewglobal.org/database/?indicator=4&mode=chart

There's also a book based on this research which explores the issue of global opinion of the US, the beliefs underlying that opinion, and instances where that opinion diverges from reality.

http://www.pewresearch.org/2006/05/09/the-problem-of-american-exceptionalism/

To give you a personal example of how insidious these attitudes can be, I was shocked that a suspect was taken alive - it's simply not what I've come to expect of US law enforcement.

This has already been discussed. Not reading his Miranda rights doesn't mean that he doesn't have those rights. The initial interrogation isn't about getting evidence, it's about finding out if he has any other bombs rigged to go, or accomplices who are going to bomb things right now. It is a public safety issue. Likely he will get Miranda read to him when they actually question him in regards to the actual crime.

I dunno, maybe I misread the article but from what I gathered they weren't going to apply the rights to him. Of course, this is probably the media being vague as usual and getting things wrong. I know that the rights don't technically have to be read to be in effect and he doesn't have these rights until the actual questioning begins. From what I read the issue is the part in regards to self incrimination since they are trying to find out if he is part of a greater terrorist group or acted alone since that is on the border between collecting evidence and public safety.

But yeah, I think I just think that what I read was either misleading and poorly worded, or I just misunderstood what they were trying to say. Like I said, I wasn't concerned about the whole not saying it to him, but rather the idea of not applying the laws to him.

As for him walking on the crime, I highly doubt that that would happen but you never know, stranger things have happened for stupid reasons.

In any case, I admit that I was dumb in not understanding what they were actually doing, which is standard operating procedure.



Really though, the treating them as enemy combatants things is just plain dumb. And trying to say that because they threw bombs and shot guns at the cops they are enemy combatants is also dumb. It isn't like normal criminals don't get into shootouts with the cops or even throw "bombs" at pursuing officers from time to time. (Though the throwing explosives thing is much, much rarer of an occurance). And really, unless the brothers intended to get into a huge firefight with the police for the sole sake of killing police officers rather than trying to escape, I hardly see how that is applicable to whether or not they are enemy combatants.

Eh, that's debate able and involves trusting the government to a fair extent, Glen Greenwald's article goes over all this. Regardless, it won't make a difference in his conviction, but let's be honest, the reason they're doing this is because rights for terror suspects have become politicized. They could read him his rights first and then ask the questions, or if they fear co-conspirators they could ask the questions and then not try to use whatever he says then in court.

Neither approach would be likely to make all that much difference because of all the other evidence, but still, the reason they're choosing this option over others is because it scores Obama some political points and keeps McCain from scoring others. And that is actually a real problem.

Seriously, the police are just asking him if there are any immediate threats to the public which they can do prior a formal arrest. After they determine there aren't any stray pipe bombs or whatever they had laying about the neighbourhood because they dropped them or something, then they read the Miranda rights and he gets his phone call. It's not like he is being denied rights or anything, just that it's been determined there could be a threat to public safety and they are postponing the Miranda caution.

The media, on the other hand, are making it look like he's going to be shipped off to Gitmo for some waterboarding next week judging from how they are explaining this.

Or read just like, one, since this is discussed on drat near every page. Or better yet, have at least a cursory knowledge of American law. Hell, it can be from Law and Order, since there are episodes where they convict without a Miranda warning all the time.
