NIMBY:Senators Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) think Congress should have been consulted before the Justice Department rendered Sulaiman Abu Ghaith to New York for trial (instead of Guantanamo). Maybe the Republican caucus should get its own terrorist-hunting and prosecution unit, too. “I’ve got news for the good senators,” Benjamin Wittes says in an open letter to the solons at Lawfare. “As long as it’s impossible ever to get anyone out of Guantanamo, neither this nor any other administration is going to bring anyone there.”
Backdoor Men: For an interesting exploration of reports that Osama Bin Laden’s onetime spokesman spent time in the custody of Jordanian security forces (surely less constrained in interrogations than the CIA) see Jim White at emptywheel. Whether and how Ghaith’s detainment there will affect his prosecution in New York remains to be seen, but such partnerships may be providing the Obama administration (as it has its many predecessors) a backdoor to enhanced interrogations.
Talk to Me: The FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group has a new boss, according to the Denver Post and Ticklethewire. James Yacone will run the "elite" CIRG, which helped defuse the hostage taking of a young boy in Alabama in February. The bureau describes the CIRG as “a cadre of special agents and professional support personnel who provide expertise in crisis management, tactical operations, crisis negotiations, hostage rescue, hazardous devices mitigation, critical incident intelligence, and surveillance and aviation.” The watchers and talkers.
