The Fight Over Who Will Hold Terrorists

A new policy would require all suspected terrorists to be held in military custody, the Associated Press reported. But the FBI says that's too restrictive. FBI Director Robert Mueller raised his concerns in a letter to lawmakers. Mueller says the requirement would have a negative impact on open terrorism investigations and discourage detainees from cooperating with the United States. Republican lawmakers disagreed saying the bill was bipartisan and built to create clear lines of authority when it comes to handling suspected terrorists. The policy is tied to a massive Defense bill currently being crafted in Congress.
