Former Justice Department official cites secret legal filing that contradicts Obama approach to charging terrorists

Attorney and former Justice Department official David Rivkin recently broke a story in his Wall Street Journal Op-Ed (“Tale of Two Terrorists”) regarding a secret filing made by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. The filing, made Dec. 18, basically argued that interrogating terrorists must come before criminal prosecution.
On Feb. 6, Rivkin appeared live on Fox and Friends alongside Matthew Alexander, a former senior interrogator in Iraq and author, to discuss the use of Miranda rights for accused terrorists. They specifically discussed Nigerian terrorist Umar Farouk Abdumuttalab, who promptly stopped talking after being read his rights. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs previously stated that the FBI obtained sufficient intelligence from a 50-minute interrogation of Abdumuttalab on Christmas Day before reading him his rights. Rivkin strongly disagrees with this approach.
“This was a huge mistake,” Rivkin said. “The Justice Department senior official, U.S. attorney Preet Bharara on Dec. 18 argues in a filing that its essential to treat a person like Abdumuttalab as an intelligence asset, with protracted interrogations to illicit every bit of intelligence information back and forth—and not just for 15 [or 50] minutes.”
Alexander countered that he would rather “deligitimize” terrorists by showing that our government upholds the word of the law; and also by treating terrorists as common criminals which would make them less effective as recruitment figures.
Rivkin said the most important means of self-defense involved timing and the overall intelligence information gathered from suspects at hand. “We didn’t get this information in a timely fashion. So intelligence got stale. And just because we’re getting some intelligence stream out of this guy doesn’t mean we couldn’t have gotten more,” Rivkin said, noting that he was still for humane treatment of prisoners.
“We could’ve treated him as an enemy combatant, interrogated him humanely for several months, got everything out of him and then made a decision about whether we want to put him in a criminal justice system,” Rivkin said. “We got some information out of him, but we could’ve gotten more. There’s no doubt about that.”
