| Miranda warning, then silence from bombing suspect |
| 2013-04-25 |
| Dzhokhar Tsarnaev immediately stopped talking after a magistrate judge and a representative from the U.S. Attorney's office entered his hospital room and gave him his Miranda warning, according to four officials of both political parties briefed on the interrogation. They insisted on anonymity because the briefing was private. Before being advised of his rights, the 19-year-old suspect told authorities that his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, only recently had recruited him to be part of the attack that detonated pressure-cooker bombs at the marathon finish line, two U.S. officials said. The CIA, however, had named Tamerlan to a terrorist database 18 months ago, said officials close to the investigation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case with reporters. The new disclosure that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was included within a huge, classified database of known and suspected terrorists before the attacks was expected to drive congressional inquiries in coming weeks about whether the Obama administration adequately investigated tips from Russia that Tsarnaev had posed a security threat. |

| #1 Between the drone zaps and Miranda, the administration definitely doesn't want anyone to know terrorism is an Islamic phenomenon. They manage to dry up, close off, seal up, and lock down every source of good intell they find. Before this idiot of an empty suit leaves office, something will happen to make Boston look like preschool recess, something very big, very nasty, and impossible to deny the origin. By the time this is all over, every man woman and child not receiving an Obama phone will be screaming for his resignation/impeachment. Worse yet, how long after this guy is out of office will it take to root out all of the drones and true believers from our intelligence network and our military? |
