This is the kind of bullshit we expected from Bush. Don't do shit like this. Don't sell us out. :(

Whatever.

The point is they picked up an indigent man, he was cooperating, but since he'd been a suspect they couldn't follow questions up right then and there where they thought they could get more evidence before it was lost. And so they did. And now a case hangs in the balance that they asked questions of someone who was cooperating instead of waiting for a lawyer.

I don't see it as a slippery slope, merely the other side of a coin. If you opt to waive your rights, why must the police still wait?
