But you don't get any information of a dead man. You also make a martyr of him, rather than exposing him as the sniveling little bastard that he is.
Given that this is just a crock of, well, you know. The loss of intell is probably worse than the martyrdom. But exposing him as the coward that he is, that would have been truly sweet.
Your assuming that you could even get intel from this scumbag. Its not like we can tourture these @ssholes anymore without the ACLU getting invovled. And some ACLU lawyer would be defending him. Look at Saddam. Haven't gotten a damn thing from him and Ramsey Clark is defending him. Besides, according to Special Forces they retrieved a couple of hard drives and a treasure trove of information.
