CNSNews.com - Sen. Dodd: 'We'll Have Far Better Prosecutions [of Terrorists] in Our Civilian Courts Than Our Military Courts': "(CNSNews.com) – Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) said that civilian courts would do a “far better” job of prosecuting terrorists than military courts, adding that the civilian venues would be more likely to bring top al Qaeda terrorists to justice. But Dodd did not directly answer whether 9/11 leader Osama bin Laden, if captured, should be read his Miranda rights.

CNSNews.com asked: “If and when we catch Osama bin Laden, are we going to have to read him his Miranda rights?”

Dodd said: “We’ll have far better prosecutions in our civilian courts than our military courts. We’re doing better there. I’m interested in seeing these people brought to justice and concluding their trials and getting convictions, and we’ve had a far greater success in our federal court system than we have with our military courts.”"
