Detroit Bomber 'Singing Like A Canary' Before Arrest -- The Telegraph

President Barack Obama is under fire over claims that the Christmas Day underwear bomber was "singing like a canary" until he was treated as an ordinary criminal and advised of his right to silence.

The chance to secure crucial information about al-Qaeda operations in Yemen was lost because the Obama administration decided to charge and prosecute Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab as an ordinary criminal, critics say.

My Comment: Of course ... this part of the news is being ignored by he main stream media in the U.S.

My take .... this incident has become political, and regardless of what intelligence could have been obtained by this terrorist .... it is not important when compared to protecting the political agenda of the President and his policies in fighting against this type of radical Islam.

My only regret .... I am sure that the Detroit bomber could have provided more information on this case.
