Sen. Kit Bond (R-MO) said on Fox News today that while John Brennan, President Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, did brief him on Christmas Day about the handling of suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, Bond maintained that he had no idea that Abdulmutallab would be read his rights.
“The administration’s trying to pass the buck for dangerous decisions,” Bond said. “Brennan did call me, as well as others. Never said that they were going to Mirandize the Christmas Day bomber. I would have told him it was a serious mistake. As I’m sure that the DNI, director of national intelligence, Admiral Blair, and other leaders of the intelligence community would have told him because they said it was a major mistake.”
