>> in fact, few detainees for ever tried to compare to the hundreds prosecuted and convicted in federal court. the shoe bomber, underwear bomber, and the times square bomber. zero convicted to life in prison patrols in civilian court. >> no question that the track record for convictions is better open federal court. >> that hasn't defused critics who insist miranda rights mean a lost opportunity for interrogation. the kind that would give the u.s. key intelligence to fight future terrorist cells. >> it was a slow boat home for the u.s. special courses to attendees to question the suspect but whatever information they got it was not enough to drafted for additional charges. >> the so-called "nightmare nanny" says her *family is the
