When I was tooling around in the truck at lunch, someone on NPR was making the case that the FBI can get more information, more quickly, from mirandized terrorist suspects with their right to remain silent than the military can with its looser rules.

He was making the case that the FBI just has more experience and overall competence.

Have any of you heard this? Maybe they’re right; maybe NPR brings on authors to back up their own wishful thinking.
