Brennan: Deal 'on the table' for terror suspect

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.

Insanity !

Let’s just give him his harem of
virgins and palace here and now,
if he gives up some meaningless,
lawyered-up tidbit, then Zero can
rest easy that we’re ‘sensitive’ folks.

I’m telling you, they’re setting
us up for an horrific attack ..
some city near you or I will
reap the very painful whirlwind
of these idiots.

God bless us, save us. He and Israel
are our only salvation.

I think a visit from his mom and dad would probably do the trick......Let them visit him and implore him to open up with everything he knows........ or they'll take away his allowance..... /sarc

"The Jihadis must all be laughing like crazy right now. This is the perfect time for them to attack America".

Not only can the Jihadis act with the near impunity (criminal prosecution if you survive), so too can the STATE SPONSORS of these organizations.

THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR ANY STATE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM...therefore, yes, it's a perfect time for them to do as they will.

So, the Green Jobs Czar position is still open? (Probably can't move him immediately into the DHS position.)

I caught that and thought Chris Wallace was an idiot for not seizing on the comment and grilling him over it.
