Are we going to put him on a ship and torture him too, like Al-Liby (who was denied access to a lawyer)?

Where's the liberal outrage about these captures and torture? Why isn't the Red Cross allowed access, like Bush allowed at GTMO?

Where's the MSM? Why aren't they trying to interview these poor terrorists like they tried at GTMO?

We can’t pump him for information but we can pump him up to 400 pounds on his favorite delicious halal treats.

Maybe he will suffer from indigestion and sue.

El Chapo treatment:

Slowly deep-fry his feet, then on video slowly lower the rest of him into it as he screams.

US Treatment:

Poke him with the corner of a fluffy pillow.

Pump them all up to 500-600lbs, and let them explode like “Mr Creosote”.
