to remain silent. is that public safety exemption being applied within the spirit of that exemption, or are they stretching it here? >> absolutely. i do think it's being applied appropriately. and that's part of the overall point that i was saying. the criminal justice system is very flexible and not as brittle as what the critics say and the reason why you have to go to a military system or something like that. the supreme court in 1984 in new york versus quarles says there was a broad public safety exception in cases of imminent threat. and this is if there is ever going to be an exemption that qualifies, this is that type of one. and the administration, you know, i think it's important to say wisely i think, you know, said they got their interrogation, they did what they needed to do. now they have read him his rights and the trial can proceed in the way that trials do all the time. as you were saying in your set piece a few minutes ago, this is the way we do things in this country. justice comes to you, even if you're in a hospital bed. we don't need to send you to guantanamo, boston bomber, in order to try you.
