The arrest of al Qaedas No. 3 man, Abu Farraj al-Libbi, in Pakistan promises to provide new information on Osama bin Ladens life on the run and deprives the terror network of its chief operating officer, according to counterterrorism and defense officials.
Officials said that if al-Libbi chooses to talk, he is in a position to dish out valuable information about al Qaedas current structure, funding sources and attacks in the pipeline. And most importantly, he might provide information that could rekindle leads to bin Laden that have grown cold this year.
Al-Libbi is potentially the best source of information since the March 2003 capture of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. As far as an information bonanza, I know that, to this day, we are still getting actionable intelligence from Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and he has been in custody for a couple of years now, a senior defense official said. The real question is how loyal this guy is to bin Laden. If hes a die-hard, he may not give up much. If hes a canary, we could be getting something very soon, he said. Al-Libbi had ascended to the al Qaeda inner circle after the arrest of Mohammed, who masterminded the September 11 attacks. Officials said al-Libbi is thought to have had contact with bin Laden since December 2001, when a U.S.-led coalition ousted the Taliban in Afghanistan and the terrorist leader fled to Pakistan. U.S. officials have said bin Laden, and his top aide, Ayman al-Zawahri, have spent most of their time on the run.

Truth serum and a little pressure should help him talk.
Has the NY Slimes, Washington Compost or ABCNNBCBS reported on this good news, yet?

This should help him remember some details.
There was a former CIA agent on the radio today. He said that it was his experience that these Al Qaeda "leaders" were the biggest cowards he had ever run across. They consider the underlings that actually carry out the missions as cannon fodder--and the leaders look out for their own warm, pink bodies first and foremost.
He said that once caught, they cry like little children and lament their own situation. He had never, ever seen such disgraceful Nancy boys in his entire career as these men.
Head in vise does have a way of obtaining information.
send in some lovely female agents.....
though the Al Queda dudes caught previously seem to sing pretty good, certainly it seems Al Queda doesn't have the code of honour and silence like the heyday of the Mafia,
these days even the Mafia will squeal like pigs for the right deal....
Oh, I LOVED hearing that report. Thank you!
It sort of confirmed for me that anyone who would use women and children and young men to do their dirty work must have problems with their own masculinity.
Don't forget the panties.
or just send in Jack Bauer, LOL
or tell al Libbi if he doesn't talk he has to sleep with Hillary Clinton
Perfect!
Just slap a bunch of Fentynal patches all over him, and then start a Versed continuous infusion (IV)about an hour or so after attaching the patches.
He will feel great and will babble the truth as long as the drug supply holds up.
I thought underwear applied to the head was the latest in torture techniques. (At least that's what the MSM keeps telling me.)
Can we send you in to handle this for us? Somehow I'm afraid the agents in charge might be humanized and PC'd to death.
wow Grampa, you seem well versed in the art of making em spill the beans....
"He had never, ever seen such disgraceful Nancy boys in his entire career as these men."
In California, they would be rats in the California legislature, and Arnold would be calling them Girly Boys.
I was going to add that rhetorical question as a comment at the end of the post, but thought.......well, everyone will have the same reaction. Why isn't this story in BANNER HEADLINES? If a Democrat were president, that's exactly what we'd have, from sea to shining sea, a major media celebration of the wisdom, professionalism and great statesmanship of Democrat administrations.
exactly and not even dirty underwear at that.....
gee these Al Quedie and Iraqi insurgents dudes would never survive college then.....LOL
