The right to not self-incriminate is only part of the Miranda warnings. If he's going to be tried in US courts, he also has the right to be notified about his rights to legal counsel.

Seriously. If we ever do arrest the guy, it is our crowning moment to demonstrate the power of a nation of law over a rabble of lawlessness. His arrest, detention, trial, and punishment HAS to be 100% by the book, or we lose ANY sort of moral high ground in the war on terror.
