Hannity falsely claims Abdulmutallab was not interrogated

From the January 22 edition of Hannity:

HANNITY: You know, the idea, for example, we have an underwear bomber that has information that wanted to kill 300 Americans and we don't interrogate the guy and we let him lawyer-up is madness to me.

FACT: Abdulmutallab was interrogated by the FBI

FBI Director Mueller testified to suspect's interrogation. FBI Director Robert Mueller testified that interrogators interviewed Abdulmutallab "to gain intelligence, intelligence about whether there's another bomb, whether other coconspirators, where'd he get the bomb, all of that information without the benefit of -- or within the Miranda warnings." From Mueller's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee (via Nexis):

SEN. RUSS FEINGOLD (D-WI): Director Mueller, we've heard criticism this morning for the decision to try Abdulmutallab in federal court. And I'm, of course, a little mystified by this reaction, given the similarity of this case to the attempt by Richard Reid, who was prosecuted in federal court by the prior administration, now serving a life sentence. Some have argued the decision has compromised our ability to obtain useful intelligence.

But as I understand it and as Senator Feinstein touched on, there are quite a few examples of people who have been charged with terrorism-related crimes in federal court and cooperated with the U.S. government. Do you see any reason to treat this case differently from the Richard Reid case? And has it been your experience that alleged terrorists charged with crimes in federal court often cooperate with the government and provide useful intelligence?

MUELLER: Well, in direct answer to the question, we've had a number of cases in which through the process -- the criminal justice process of the United States, individuals have decided to cooperate and provided tremendous intelligence. That is not to say that there may not be other ways of obtaining that intelligence. But, yes, in answer to your question, the criminal justice system has been a -- a fountain of intelligence in the years since September 11th.

[...]

SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE (D-RI): Do you not react differently to cases that have a national security and terrorism overtone than to you regular book of criminal business, in terms of making early decisions as to what type of interrogation is appropriate?

MUELLER: Certainly we do. And that's what the agents did in this particular case. There were no Miranda warnings given. They immediately went in, when they had the opportunity to interview him to determine whether -- to gain intelligence, intelligence about whether there's another bomb, whether other coconspirators, where'd he get the bomb, all of that information without the benefit of -- or within the Miranda warnings.

It had to be done very quickly because of the fact that he had been injured, was in a hospital, and the window of opportunity to do this had to be undertaken very quickly.

But the fact remains, as well, later that evening, he was Mirandized and -- and went into the judicial system. I'm not going to opine one way or the other, because I don't think it's my role to -- to necessarily adopt the policy as to where the person goes. It's to other persons at the Department of Justice and elsewhere.
