Should terror suspects lose citizenship?

ABC’s Z. Byron Wolf reports: When the attempted Christmas Day bomber was read his Miranda rights and put in the US judicial system, many lawmakers, mostly Republican, crowed that the Obama administration should have treated him as an enemy combatant and interrogated him longer. The argument has been more difficult to make with Faisal Shahzad, the suspected attempted Times Square bomber arrested this week just before fleeing to Dubai. Shahzad is an American citizen. And he’s got rights that Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian, does not. Shahzad was read his Miranda rights, but has continued to cooperate with authorities, according to Attorney General Eric Holder. “I want to stop reading these guys they're Miranda rights,” said Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-South Carolina, at a Congressional hearing Wednesday. “I don't think it's smart for us to say that the homeland is not part of the battlefield.  You get to America, you get a much better deal.  You get rewarded,” said Graham. He said suspected terrorists apprehended by US forces abroad are treated much differently. “If you can be caught in Pakistan and intelligence gathering can happen with a intelligence agency without your Miranda warnings being given, why should you get a better deal when you get here?” he asked. “Even if you're an American citizen helping the enemy, you should be viewed as a potential military threat, not some guy who tried to commit a crime in Times Square.” Independent Joe Lieberman is expected to introduce legislation next week that would strip US Citizenship from any of the 45 terror groups recognized by the US State Department. Some Democrats said today that Lieberman’s citizenship argument was beside the point. “The punishment for terrorists isn't stripping them of their citizenship its life imprisonment or the death penalty. We should be focused on preemption,” said Sen. Jack Reed, D-RI, at a separate press conference. And the Majority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid, said Lieberman’s proposal would present some implementation problems. “When would someone try to accomplish this, after a conviction or after an arrest? That's something we have to be very careful how we handle it,” said Reid.
