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.

Here’s the deal I’d make: “Tell us everything you know, or we’ll bury you with a raw pork chop in your mouth.”

Thanks for Pipes writeup on this Obot Brennan. Watched him on TV today and thought him a fool!

“3. Execute him.”

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

"He doesn't have to but he knows there are certain things that are on the table.

The only thing that should be on the table is Omar ... on an angle with a towel over his mouth and nose and a steady stream of water being poured on his face. Once he's given up all of his islamofacist buddies ... then we can play pattycake.

Can we do number “4” first, and then “3”?..... maybe leave a little air vent hole to give him time to “think about things.”

Maybe when pigs fly this country will elect an upstanding man as president someday who will defend the country.

I sure hope Rush jumps on this one on Wed.
