United States interrogators who specialize in so-called high value targets will question a suspected al Qaeda operative aboard an American warship without reading him his rights, U.S. officials told NBC News on Monday.

The suspect, Abu Anas al-Libi, was whisked off the streets of the Libyan capital of Tripoli over the weekend. He will be taken to the United States to stand trial in the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the officials said.

Al-Libi will be in U.S. military custody for several more days, perhaps a few weeks, a senior administration official told NBC News.

The interrogation will be conducted by a team including representatives of the CIA, the FBI and the military aboard the USS San Antonio, an amphibious helicopter carrier in the Mediterranean Sea, the U.S. officials said.

Well Abu Anas al-Libi, I can’t say it’s been a pleasure. One of the most terrifying things in the world has to be knowing you’re going to be interrogated by the US military. At the very least, some of these terrorists (undeservingly) have their rights protected and are questioned in a humane manner. Looks like Abu here isn’t going to get that same treatment. No reading of his rights. No safe houses. Send him on a warship into the middle of the Mediterranean and “question” his ass. Without getting too political here, anyone who decides it’s ok to start blowing places up should be treated like this. Have fun in hell Abu.
