8. The basis of the Miranda warning is the 5th Amend. protection against self-incrimination and the 6th

Amendment rights to a fair trial.

I agree it works to insulate the authorities, as well, from accusations of undue force and duress in questioning. But, there is yet another reason not to Mirandize a suspect. The questions asked and the answers given can be kept off the record.

The really interesting question here is why the FBI wants to interrogate him "off the record." May I suggest that this has something to do with the brother's trip to Russia in 2011, and the FBI's interviews of the family at that time, as well as the fact that the Russians let him in even though they knew Tamarand was radicalized, and the FBI's apparent failure not to monitor the brother after his return. Looking more and more like another case of one agency not telling another what they were doing, and resulting blowback.
