If ever there was a bad idea worse than this, I haven't heard of it. Hey, let's get the ACLU down to Cuba so they can advise the detainees that they have the right to remain silent! Remember, it was a detainee in Iraq, presumably who hadn't been read the Miranda warning, who gave up the location of Roy Hallums.

WND:

According to these sources, the ACLU lawyers advised the majority of the prisoners that they did not have to answer questions from military interrogators.

“It’s as if they were shoplifters in the U.S.,” said one source. “The lawyers may have left by now, but the damage is done. We’re sending guys down to interrogate on taxpayer’s dime for absolutely no reason now.”

Apparently, the Pentagon believes the presence of ACLU lawyers at Guantanamo will help persuade the world it can give suspected terrorists a fair trial. The ACLU has been at the forefront of allegations of abuse of prisoners.

Hat tip to Jay Stop the ACLU who has more commentary.
