Miranda rights are ONLY necessary if you intend to use the guy's statements against them in court. If you don't give them, the guy doesn't automatically go free or anything. It ONLY means that whatever he says can't be introduced into evidence against him at trial.
If you have, SAY, videotape of the guy dropping off a bag that later explodes AND evidence at where he lived that he had bomb making devices AND evidence on his computer about bombs and planning this AND a carjacking AND a shoout with the police AND a murder of an MIT police officer (that you feel confident can be tied back to him), then you really don't need a freaking confession do you?

yeah people think being "Mirandized" is some kind of protection or the case will get thrown out if not done. Its complete bullshit.
It's only a confession that would be thrown out if you are not read your rights. The rest of the evidence would stay to be held against you in a court of law. I think they have enough evidence to not worry about a conviction.
