Philippine intelligence put the screws to Murad. In Camp Crame, a military installation on the outskirts of Manila, he was subjected for 67 days to what Philippine intelligence reports delicately refer to as TI, or tactical interrogation. By the time he was handed over to the Americans, interrogators had extracted everything they thought they needed to know.

Murad today is healthy and serving his time in the PI, no permanent harm was done. In fact, it is said that he cracked only after being told that Israeli interrogators were being brought in: he was "psyched out" into full confession mode.

OTOH, we in the USA would prefer to see more 9-11s then dirty our hands with the "TI" of known terrorists in our custody, (such as the Minnesota 747 pilot trainee wannabee who gave us all the finger in court today).

Bump.

Thanks, TM. Haven't seen you around in a while...

"We told the Americans about the plans to turn planes into flying bombs as far back as 1995," he complained to reporters. "Why didn't they pay attention?"

Because everyone was too fat, dumb and happy - and Clinton was too busy worrying about getting his little willy wet.

Now, all we have to do to be safe is surrender some of our rights and the government will protect us. We'll get our rights back - they promised.

Whoa.

Appreciate the ping, Travis. The chemicals would be most lethal if mixed correctly. Was any prussic acid found among the ingredients?... It might explain the condoms to be filled and thrown.

Thanks for the ping, TM. The author's comment on the NSC analysts is very telling. The State Dept. is infested with such little bozos as well, indicating that too much of the nation's diplomatic, security and intelligence apparatus is in the hands of an unchanging clique of Ivy League twits whose habitual use of the otherwise unemployable children of fraternity buddies for filling staff positions makes that apparatus useless for any purposes not aligned with the agendas of said twits.

Wallaby, great find, as susal.
