Senators on Abdulmutallab

During the past week, THE WEEKLY STANDARD surveyed United States Senators on the U.S. government’s handling of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas Day bomber. The questions we asked were simple: Does Senator XX believe that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab should have been read his Miranda rights? And does Senator XX believe that Abdulmutallab should be tried in civilian courts?

Only one senator offered a clear and unequivocal “yes,” in support of the Obama administration’s handling of Abdulmutallab: Senator Roland Burris (D-IL).
