Brennan: Deal 'on the table' for terror suspect
politico.com ^ | Jan. 3, 2010 | Josh Gerstein

The U.S. Government is offering the suspect charged with attempting to bomb an aircraft on Christmas Day, Omar Abdulmutallab, some kind of incentives to share what he knows about Al Qaeda, White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said Sunday.

Asked why Abdulmutallab should cooperate given his right, as criminal defendant, to remain silent, Brennan replied: "He doesn't have to but he knows there are certain things that are on the table... if he wants to engage with us in a productive manner, there are ways he can do that."

Asked if Abdulmutallab's willingness to talk changed once he had an attorney, Brennan declined to answer. "I'm not going to address what he did before or after he talked with a lawyer," the adviser said.

” .........one of the officers who got killed had arranged an operation in 1998 that would have killed or captured Osama bin Laden.

" And Mr. Brennan was instrumental in preventing that operation from occurring. Instead he said the Americans should trust the Saudis to take care of bin Laden. ........”

. . . . Check out #114.

I do hope they're taking good care of him. Keeping his "burned area" cleaned up good with some nice isopropyl. Don't want him to get an infection.

Other than that, no freakin' deals!

We have NOW abandoned official standing U.S. policy, bi-partisan policy, that we DO NOT negotiate with terrorists. That’s what this amounts to by offering him ‘incentives’.

Next, we’ll be offering Iran land for peace, a la Chamberlin to Hitler. Give Sudetenland in exchange for peace. Let’s see, give the all of Israel in exchange for stopping the war.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama is a traitorous bastard.

This sentence jumped out at me as well...although it didn't surprise me...

So it’s a painful— it’s a painful death, but more importantly it’s a death that didn’t need to occur had Mr. Clinton — Mr. Brennan, George Tenet, and Mr. Berger had the courage to try to defend Americans.

The muslim terrorist should be drawn, quartered, boiled in pig fat, beheaded, and his head posted on a pike in front of the Washington monument.

Great — lets make a deal. The deal is we don’t torture you as greatly if you talk. How about that one?

Obama, you really do not have a clue, do you? (Sheesh, our branches of government are cesspools of idiocy.)

“3. Execute him.”

That’s already off the table in a civilian trial I think.

If Zero does not want to be seen as soft on Islamists, he needs to follow the example of his hero FDR and dispose of Abdulmuttalib the way Roosevelt disposed of Operation Pastorius — a month-long trial before seven generals, a week for the Supremes to review, then six fryings in the DC chair.

“Just tell us anything....make it up if you like. Just so we can let you go with probation and claim some BS we can feed to the American public about how we got great intel from you without waterboarding your muzzie behind is all we ask. Dude, it’s a win-win. We get to pretend we’re on top of things and you get to walk.”

Dunno, they could offer him a pass on bombing something. Maybe there would be some fun on letting him loose on a replica White House with movie prop guns and explosives. Kind of like Mission Impossible.

I can see the deal now: we will send him to Mayo Clinic where he can have a ‘new package’ surgically attached to replace the one he burned off in exchange for information we already know.

The ignorance of the Dums and their fellow travelers is incredibly dangerous.
Make a deal with a bunch that practices TAQIYYA (lying).
Yeah that makes sense.

Obama should have him waterboarded in secret to obtain everything he knows.

Or how about Chinese bamboo stalks under the fingernails torture? Technique is here (at 1:41)
