Washington Post ^ | March 19, 2016 | James McAuley, Michael Birnbaum and Souad Mekhennet

The man at the top of Europe’s terrorism wanted list is cooperating with Belgian investigators, his attorney said Saturday, raising the prospect that he can shed light on the planning and logistics of the November attacks in Paris that exposed gaping holes in the continent’s security system.

Sven Mary, the attorney, spoke to reporters following Salah Abdeslam’s first appearance before an investigating magistrate a day after his surprise capture in a raid in the Belgian capital. Abdeslam is thought to be the lone surviving direct participant in the Nov. 13, 2015, attacks that left 130 people dead in Paris.

He probably needs a bath. A little waterboarding would sure help things along.

It’s important to put this out there, whether he’s actually cooperating or not. It will prompt the abettors and sympathizers who aided him over the past month to take chances they wouldn’t otherwise if they think they may be dimed out.

I believe the French might have methods other than the relatively benign waterboarding ... they could outsource the interrogations to Algiers were most anything goes ...

I think what the interrogators need here is a pair of pliers and a blow torch...

I’m sure they are giving him tea and strawberry shortcake to talk.

I bet they have this terrorist in a vice grip. And that is a good thing.

I don't know what cooperating with the police in Belgium means, but in France 'cooperating with the police' in a terror investigation means getting dragged down to the police station basement by a couple of Jean Reno-looking Paris detectives who commence to whoopin' that ASS.

When they finally turn that terrorist over to France, he'll be tied to a sturdy chair with a hood over his head and be somersaulting through the air from Jiu-Jitsu kicks. Just bounce him off the scenery for awhile. When they think he's ready, THEN they'll ask questions.

Maybe they'll let him see his lawyer in a couple weeks, but he'll see a judge first without a lawyer present.

For all their left-wing ways, it ain't like America's justice system in France. Those cops will be LePen voters, you better believe.
