Singing canary in a terrorist opera

MUMBAI - "Jihad means to kill, become famous and make God happy," captured terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab reportedly answered interrogating Mumbai police when asked to define "jihad", or "holy war", a term some militants use to justify violence.

After officially banned Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET) promised to compensate Kasab's impoverished family in Faridkot village in Pakistan's Punjab province, Kasab's father asked him to join the LET a year ago, according to the "confession".

Twenty-one-year old Kasab was captured by Mumbai police at Girgaum Chowpatty on Marine Drive during their three-night siege of two luxury hotels and a Jewish community center in south Mumbai.

Kasab is a rare prize: a terrorist captured alive on a suicide mission. He is also the center of a mystery because there have been no coherent or consistent accounts of his statements to authorities.

The captured terrorist's contradictory explanations are mirrored in India's confused official response to what's being described as the world's most audacious and brutal urban terrorist attack since the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

What makes him sing:

“Sodium amobarbital has a reputation for having activity as a truth serum, where the person under the influence of the drug will submit to almost any request given by another person. It has been used to convict alleged murderers such as Andres English-Howard, who strangled his girlfriend to death but claimed innocence. He was surreptitiously administered the drug, by his attorney, and under the influence of it he revealed why he strangled her and under which circumstances. A year later he confessed, on the stand, and was convicted on the basis of these statements; he later committed suicide in his cell. The use of amobarbital as a truth serum has lost credibility due to the discovery that the subject can be coerced into having a ‘false memory’ of the event. In controlled doses, it is used in the Narco Analysis test to trace crime and criminals in modern forensics.”

>>>>>>Did they threaten to bring in the Israeli interrogators already?<<<<<<

the first report I saw (online in Mumbai Mirror or Times Of India) said he was unnerved by the sight of his dead and “mutilated” cohorts while he was in the hospital.

“Narco analysis” (truth serum) is an accepted interrogation tool in India.

I think torture is too, so long as one doesn’t get caught.

Jihad means to kill, become famous and make God Allah happy

There -- corrected. Allah is not God, more like Shaitan.

Torture? Wassat? No, Indian cops do not torture prisoners by making them wear panties. No, no, no, no, no. Pulling out fingernails and wacking them with sticks, yes, but according to our media that is not torture, only putting panties on muslim scumbag heads is torture

send Kasab to meet his 72 virgins
