Find the guy? >> if the case was closed and the initial interviews were done and the case is closed there is really no mechanism to go back and rehe look at this because there is too many of these cases going on. people make these judgments all day long. we have thousands of these things going on all day long and in this instance we are still getting fragmented information about what exactly was the team line here on what happened. i think at the end of the kay when all of the information comes ...

Carolina and john mccain. here was senator graham just a short time ago this morning. >> this man in my view should be designated as a potential enemy combatant and we should be allowed to question him for intelligence gathering purposes to find out about future attacks and terrorist organizations that may exist that he has knowledge of, and that evidence cannot be used against him in trial. that evidence is used to protect us as a nation. >> but a suspect like this one in a case like this cant ...

Legally they would be on shaky ground and if he is deemed an enemy combatant he still has a right to an attorney. he doesnt have to talk unless he wants to and there will are limited means that interrogators have to do so. >> the 48-hour is not a fixed time period. even in military commissions that have not secured any cone vix against anyone since 9/11. there is a right to counsel and there are procedures, too, all of which keep getting tested. >> it has nothing to do with military commissions....

Russia. he came back and inducted his own brother. not all the facts on the table but what is troubling to me and senator whose statement you read is the administration is utterly uninterested in exploring this. they want the option off the table. instead of waiting for days or a couple of weeks until all the facts are in. i will be the first one to say if the facts dont support the classification as enemy combatant we should not do that, but we should not rush the process to give benefit of tre...
