Miranda rights and wrongs

Attorney General Eric Holder announced this weekend that the Administration will seek to loosen the terrorism exception to Miranda rights law, allowing law enforcement even more flexibility to interrogate terrorism suspects before reading them their Miranda rights.  Not surprisingly civil liberties advocates are not happy.  So what do you think?  Should there be more of an exception for suspected terrorists?  Or is the law already flexible enough?  How do we balance our desire for security with our belief in civil liberties?
