unlawful combat tant indefinitely to get all the intelligence you can and you try him either in civilian court or military. it s like the underwear bomber who was read his miranda rights early and we undoubtedly lost a lot of intelligence about operations in yemen. it s an unnecessary unforced error we should inflict on ourselves. he s on the video. there s a question about evidentiary gathering in this case and that the fbi took 18 days to get to benghazi. you wonder about the case in u.s. civilian court. right. apparently, one of reasons it took so long to get him is because they were building the case and they wanted to get it ready. i think it would be a really terrible thing for him to be tried and not convicted in a u.s. court, but i don t think that s the big concern. i don t think we have any indication right now that he s been read his miranda rights or
this is a fox news alert. key suspect in the benghazi terror attack is on his way to the united states. on sunday u.s. special forces capturing the suspect near benghazi. the first arrest in the 2012 attack that killed chris stevens and three other americans news correspondent jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon with the latest. jennifer? greta, fox news has learned that he is currently on board a u.s. navy vessel in international waters where is he being interrogated by a u.s. intelligence team, sources tell us that he will be sailed back by the u.s. navy back to the u.s. to give more time to talk to him, the justice department will not say whether he has been mirandized yet. based on past experience can hold detainee on board a
the reason he s on a ship and we re just confirming the name of the ship right now is that remember, they want to buy as much time as possible. they want to possibly interrogate him. they have certain ways in which they can gather information before he is lawyered up, mile an hour mirandized and then appears in court. what s not clear is how long they can keep him on the ship but from past experience it is normal for them to put them on a ship and that is where they can carry out some interrogations in the coming days and then shortly thereafter, they will bring him to the united states, we understand. the other important thing to know is that the f.b.i. has a sealed there is there are sealed documents against him. what i know from sources back when we were reporting on the benghazi story shortly after the attack is that he is seen in multiple videos at the site. in fact, giving orders to the
the constitution requires an indictment. meaning in order to be tried in a federal system, the case has to be sifted through a garage jury which is 23 civilians sitting in secret, deciding whether or not in their opinion, it is more likely than not you are the person the government is after and you have done what the government said you did. it s not a conviction. and so it s more expedient, too. correct? talk about the miranda. in fairness to colonel kirby who didn t distance on the question whether he knew if he was mirandized. theoreticall theoretically, when someone is arrested they should receive the miranda warning immediately. i suspect they did not give him a miranda warning.
were really concerned that he would be read his miranda rights sooner and that the intelligence mining, if you will, won t happen. what about being tried in civilian u.s. court? i think it s a mistake. not in principle, a mistake, but when you have a guy like him and you have ansar al-sharia still on the loose, threatening everybody, including americans. what s more important is intelligence, it trumps justice, justice tumps everything in domestic politics. in war, intelligence is more important. so you don t want to ever get give his guy his miranda rights. probably on the ship, they will not read him his my randall rights. they will put the ship in first gear. they may run out of gas halfway out of there, so it takes a week or a month to get there. why are we couldn t straining ourselves when you are to bring him to guantanamo, the purpose of which is to detain an
