 [quote user="erikem"] Speculation on my part: If there is evidence that the brothers were not acting alone, then allowing the brother to contact someone else could pose a security risk - a lesson from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.[/quote] What do you mean by "allowing the brother to contact someone else"? Do you mean speaking to a lawyer? I definitely can see why the bombing would be considered a national security threat. There does seem to be an undercurrent of information indicating that the two suspects were not acting alone, and that has international implications.  The attack was fairly obviously a terrorist attack.  So the gravity of the situation might call for some unsual suspension of rights.       I am just trying to get a handle on the reasoning of withholding Miranda. I have also heard that the interrogation of the suspect will be different than normal, and done by a special team of interrogators. This seems similar to the issue of trying someone in our justice system versus trying that person as a military combatant.  However, that specific issue cannot apply to the Boston bombing.  I just cite it as an example of a departure between two systems of justice.   So I would like an explanation of the planned handling of the surviving brother’s case, and how that handling may be rather unique.
