The scenario is appaling - if old Ali had been silent for a few hours (to hell with a year), do what it takes to break him very qickly. Waterboard him or whatever, but do find out his family and their location.

Tell Ali that unless the info he gives is good, very good, you will send food and money to his wife, kids, parents, etc with the thanks of a grateful U.S. and its effort to fight terrorism. He should be more afraid of his fellow participants in the Religion of Peace and what they will do to his family, that what the U.S will do to him.
