(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) declined to say Thursday whether Osama bin Laden, when captured by the United States, should be told he has the right to remain silent and be given a lawyer. Pelosi indicated that is not a question Americans should worry about now.

CNSNews.com asked Pelosi at her regular press briefing on Thursday: “When we capture Bin Laden, should he be told he has the right to remain silent and given a lawyer?”

Pelosi responded: “Well, let’s see, how many years has it been? Nine, eight years. Let’s worry about capturing Bin Laden and not worry about your, your question.”

In the United States, potential criminal defendants need to be warned of their "Miranda" rights after they have been arrested and before they have been questioned. If the arresting authorities fail to read a suspect his or her Miranda rights statements the suspect subsequently makes will likely not be admissable evidence in a trial. The version of the Miranda warning posted by the American Bar Association reads: "You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you desire an attorney and cannot afford one, an attorney will be obtained for you before police questioning."

I can tell you that if I captured him it would be a speedy trial.. I would read him his rights; You have the right to be dead, .

Leaky Leahy said the samething. He even went as far as saying there is no reason we even need to interogate Osama.

Hello, do you think Osama might have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to Al Qaeda? Not to a Democrat. The modern Democrat have never seen a war worth fighting, nor one that wasn't our fault.

Hey Will, please keep the personal attacks to yourself. If you disagree with someone, do so respectfully and with arguments of substance. Don't just walk into this forum with judgement on your heart.

Was Saddam given his Miranda rights? Doubt it.

He only needs to be given his rights if he will be tried by US law. If he is tried in international court or under a different countries rules, then Mirando need not apply.

If he is tried as a military prisoner, does that include Miranda?

I seriously doubt he will be taken alive anyway

Bob, the answer is no a long with a bunch of other issues when you compare cival and military trials.

I don't like Lindsey Graham now that he's a Senator. However, watch his absolutely distroy Eric Holder. Eric was so unprepared fror his meeting in front of the Senate, he's proving to be another joke appointment for Obama.
