The man suspected of trying to blow up a jet with explosives hidden in his shoes is under suicide watch and has been identified as a English national.

The man known as Richard C. Reid remains at the Plymouth House of County Correction in the US pending a psychological examination according to chief deputy Timothy Bane of the US Marshalls office.

Richard C. Reid is the name listed on his passport, which was issued on December 7 by the British embassy in Belgium and appears to be genuine.

Tomorrows UK Times paper will say that the guy converted to Islam while in Jail.

Then they'll have taken away his shoelaces.

Suicide bomber on suicide watch? Hello?

[angkor]

The non-Islamic, non-Pakistani "Tariq" who is mad as a hatter yet able to buy C4 is afraid he won't be martyred to meet his 72 virgins and 28 little boys. What a shame, merely 20 to 40 uninteresting years in the slammer (too bad Walpole is not a federal prison).

Where is Dr. Kervorkian when he needs him?

[knighthawk]

Why? Let do us and the whole world a favour and give him a belt or rope!

[welfareworker]

Reid should have been shot already.

But since the authorities have decided to interrogate him, what with the suicide watch? Shouldn't the interrogation be continuous until he talks?

[Sungirl]

FOX News is running a news blurb that he may have had an accomplice.

[ASTM366]

He can borrow my .45 Colt anytime he needs it.

[ASTM366]

Excellent idea.

Dr. K is exactly the friend that this raghead camel jockey needs.

My candidate for quote of the day, NNY.

[welfareworker]

Under those circumstances, Reid should be questioned continuously until he spills the beans on the accomplice.

Then shoot him.

[Benjamin Dover]

He'll be found dead in his cell with 7 bullet wounds, no teeth, no finger nails, gonad-less, and battery cables attached to his nipples. The guard that finds him will say, "He was cleaning his shoe when it suddenly went off." Works for me.

[jrlc]

Give him a Koran. Maybe he can read himself to death.

[Polybius]

Why? Let do us and the whole world a favour and give him a belt or rope!

Not until we get every last bit of information we can out of him.

In the mean time, I believe he should be made comfortable and should be allowed visits from his family. I heard a rumor that he had several cousins in the Israeli Mossad. A visit from his dear cousins may change his outlook on life and persuade him to talk.

[Revolting cat!]

Have heart, people! The dude misses his shoes. Give the poor fellow back his shoes and a Zippo!

[SlightOfTongue]

Suicide bomber on suicide watch? Hello?

Really? Can you believe this article? Duh!!!!

I say give him his explosives back, send him out at gunpoint into some empty field or quarry hole, and let him enjoy himself. Sheeeesh!!!

[MinuteGal]

This is just a cover-up story for keeping shoes-for-brains in deepest solitary. If he had cell-mates, his mug shot wouldn't be the only thing numbered.

Oh yeah.

With the right pressure, this guy will talk!
