Here was Gibbs response:

* All...senior leadership in government involved in intelligence knew...Abdulmutallab was being indicted more than a day before and...supported that decision.

* ...Bush...attempted to deny Jose Padilla...counsel when...detained as an “enemy combatant,” ...was overruled by...judge...Mukasey.

* ...FBI's current policy vis-à-vis Miranda warnings for arrests inside the [USA] is...in its Domestic Investigations/Operations Guide...and...the Legal Handbook for Special Agents.....

* ...Abdulmutallab [hasn’t] been offered anything.

* ...[FBI] is part of...intelligence community.
