Do suspected terrorists have the right to remain silent? Global universities are turning talk of brain drain to brain circulation. Later, AirTalk on the road from Costa Mesa to explore religious tension on UC campuses.
Do terror suspects have the right to remain silent?
In a marked shift, Attorney General Eric Holder told Sunday morning news shows that President Obama is open to limiting Miranda rights for terror suspects. Republicans have criticized the administration for reading the Christmas Day bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, and Times Square would-be bomber, Faisal Shahzad their rights. Should suspected terrorists be afforded the same interrogation rights as other alleged criminals? Or, should Congress revisit Miranda? Would a change be Constitutional?

Forget ‘brain drain’ and ‘brain gain’—let the brains circulate
No, he’s not a mad scientist. When Ben Wildavsky talks about brain circulation and free trade in minds, he means that the United States and Europe should welcome increased funding for university systems in China, India, South Korea and elsewhere around the world. Wildavsky believe that the global shift toward knowledge economies will transform our approach to business and immigration—and bring myriad political, social and economic benefits along the way. What will global universities look like? How might they reshape knowledge—and power—worldwide?
Guest:
Ben Wildavsky, author of The Great Brain Race: How Global Universities are Reshaping the World (Princeton University Press). He is a senior fellow in research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation and a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution, as well as a former education editor of U.S. News and World Report
