Do We Need A Military Trial for the Lap Bomber?

"A top member of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) slammed the fact that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the failed “lap bomber” was facing a trial in a civilian court, insisting that he should face a military tribunal instead.

Stripping Abdulmutallab’s legal rights would make it easier for the administration to interrogate him, Rep. King insisted, and they might be able to squeeze more “useful information” out of him if he didn’t have Miranda rights."
