clearing house list for all international terrorist identities. basically, it s a watch list. about half a million names in da database. now, the percent of the people on the list are u.s. citizens or legal permanent residents. congress established this list back in 2004. and less than 5% are u.s. citizens or legal, permanent residents. the administration is talking about its decision to read dzhokhar tsarnaev his miranda rights. pamela brown is live for us this morning in devon, massachusetts. she is standing outside the prison hospital where tsarnaev is being held. what can you tell us? poppy, good morning to you. a lot of focus whether rights

bombing case. you re looking at times square. authorities say the suspect planned to attack next. mayor michael bloomberg said the city would have been prepared but cautioned the toll could have been catastrophic. also tonight, russia warned the u.s. about the mother of the suspects and her name was also put on the terrorist identities data base. want to bring back john miller. john, so many twists and turns to this. let s get into when dzhokhar tsarnaev is taken to hospital and his life has been saved, he s not dead, so he can be interrogated. the fbi get in there, they start interrogating but after 16 hours and plenty of information coming out, they suddenly have to stop because magistrate turns up and he s read his miranda rights. was that done too soon, or was there a duty of care, if you like, to an american citizen as dzhokhar is, to give him his miranda rights at that time? i think you framed the argument there.
