Less than one hour. Thats right, less than one hour.In fact, just fifty minutes.Thats the amount of time that the FBI spent questioning Abdulmutallab, the foreign terrorist who tried to blow up a plane on Christmas Day.Then, he was given a Miranda warning and a lawyer, and, not surprisingly, he stopped talking. The governments security system, a front line in the war against terrorists, failed long before Abdulmutallab boarded his flight to the United States.It failed when his visa wasnt revoked, even though his father had warned our embassy in Nigeria about his sons ties to Islamic extremists.It failed when the intelligence community was unable to connect the dots that would have placed Abdulmutallab on the terrorist watchlist.It failed when this terrorist stepped on to the plane in Amsterdam with the same explosive used by the Shoe Bomber, Richard Reid, more than 8 years ago.But, today, I want to discuss another failure a failure that occurred after Abdulmutallab had already been detained by authorities in Detroit an error that undoubtedly prevented the collection of valuable intelligence about future terrorist threats to our country.This failure occurred when the Obama Justice Department unilaterally decided to treat this foreign terrorist as an ordinary criminal.Abdulmutallab was questioned for less than one hour before the Justice Department advised him that he could remain silent and offered him an attorney at our expense. How did we get to this point? How did the Obama administration decide to treat a foreign terrorist, who had tried to murder hundreds of people, as if he were a common criminal?On Christmas Day, the skies above Detroit became a battleground in the War on Terrorism. That day the bomb being carried by Abdulmutallab failed to detonate. Thanks to the courageous action of the passengers and crew, nearly 300 lives were saved on the plane and more lives were spared on the ground.
