Are we loosing our idetity

I have asked my self why did the white house mirandise a Nigerian citizen?


You can say yes he is an enemy combatant or not but my question is why?
I think the answer is the European Union.
This is a section of a report made to the London house of Lords from the European union.
I have extracted two segments dealing with an international version of Miranda rights.

…11. We draw the Government’s attention to our previous reports and
recommend that any minimum standard should…
• provide for the right to silence;
• provide for a right to information at the pre-charge stage, in
particular by the presentation to suspects of a “Letter of Rights”,
in a language they understand, explaining their rights under the
ECHR and the measure itself;
• give suspects a right to immediate legal assistance and advice,
including the services of an interpreter, in each respect on a
confidential basis and free of charge where necessary; and
• finally (a point stressed in our previous reports), ensure electronic
recording of police interviews.
Many of these “rights” are similar to our own. For example the right to remain silent is commonly read to US criminals. Our “Miranda rights.”
The right to information of why we are arrested is like our Constitutional right to Habeas Corpus.
In a speech made in march at the whitehouse US EU summit by
José Manuel Dur ã o Barroso
President of the European Commission
Statement of President Barroso at the White House
EU-US Summit
Washington, 3 November 2009
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I think President Obama and Prime Minister Reinfeldt have already made the most important points regarding this very productive meeting. I'd like to thank President Obama for his very kind words on the European Union. In fact, we believe that this relationship is more important than ever.
In this age of globalization it is quite obvious that the United States and Europe can make a real difference. There are so many issues on the global agenda, from climate change to financial and economic cooperation, to trade -- issues that we have discussed today.
Regarding climate change, I want to tell that I am more confident now than I was in the previous days. Progress on this issue has been slow, but I would like once again to pay tribute to President Obama's leadership. As I said earlier, President Obama changed the climate on the climate negotiations because with the strong leadership of the United States we can indeed make an agreement. We are working toward a framework agreement in Copenhagen that will be an important agreement for the world.
And we had a very good discussion on this today and I think it was one of the most important points of our exchange. Of course I want to repeat what President Obama and Prime Minister Reinfeldt just said. It is extremely important on the other issues like Afghanistan and Pakistan and the issue of global security also that we work together, now negotiating it with the Lisbon Treaty, the treaty that we will give the European Union a reinforced capacity to act, a more clear position also, externally working with our main partners, and of course working especially with our American friends.
President Obama is not necessarily a socialist. He is, I think, an internationalist. This is why he seems to hold every other nation’s opinion higher than his own nation’s. the nations of Europe have state run health care. Oprah compares our nation to Denmark. Praising the Danes and wishing that we the united states were as happy as they.
Glen Beck is claiming that there is an attack on our constitution and I think that he is right.
It seems clear that Obama’s biggest challenge is figuring out how to please everybody and shift America into a one world system. I believe, and your free to dissagree with me, that Obama’s disire to move us to the EU is why he was never able to completely explain his health care bill. It would require him to give up the presidency. American’s love america. An independent spirit founded this country and drove it to become the leader of the world.
America is in the middle of an Identity crisis, much like a teenager. We are asking ourselves and the world, “Who are we?” But just like a teenager that question’s answer comes from inside. Let us all Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Liberal, Independent, Tea Party-er, look inside and rediscover the inner glory that is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
GOD BLESS THE USA!!!
