April 3, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - U.S. agents whisked bigwig al Qaeda prisoner Abu Zubaydah to a secret location yesterday to grill him after finding documents revealing he was planning a new wave of terror against America, The Post has learned.

the interrogation teams assigned to the case will isolate, disorient and deprive him of "his support system" in order to get him to talk.

I realize that there may be children reading, but someone has to suggest the horrible: 7 X 24 Geraldo reruns!

Does anyone know if the technology exists to extract information (other than by torture) unwillingly through the use of a truth serum? Is there such a thing? Torture wouldn't necessarily bring out the truth but what the interrogators want to hear...

[SBeck]

Good cop, bad cop make work nicely in the precinct or in a training film shown to prospective 96 series MOS', but it will hardly work here with a hard core, indoctrinated senior member of al Qaeda. More than likely the interrogators will use chemical, electric and sleep deprivation methods.

[RamsNo1]

This is a huge story but into the background only because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hats off to our intelligence community.

Oh good! He needs medical treatment for a gunshot wound or wounds.

A legitimate medical reason to administer Versed....

He will undoubtedly cooperate once the Egyptians and Israelis and Jordanians go to work on him. Sucks to be him right about now.

Given the Egyptians and Jordanian's are backing Arafart right about now, and there are reported HUGE anti-American protests in the streets of both countries, I doubt that they're going to care much about interrogating this cretin.

ANYONE HEREON KNOW ABOUT the technology used to read brain waves in interrogation? Some were fairly primative but still quite useful even if you just asked yes/no questions and watched the brain's response. But I understand models used now are much, much more sophisticated. Supposedly KEYWORDS, phrases and perhaps some basic thought patterns can be read by the hardware/software. But it's been a while since I read anything about it. I'm curious what others more expert might know.

How about food rations of only pork, bacon, and ham while watching nothing but Christian TV 24 hours a day?

[Alissa]

Danny Pearl comes to mind.

[Quix]

Sounds reasonable to me--and the floor, bed, bedding and clothes all made of, covered in pig skin. . . with pig's heads looking down from the 5 corners of the ceiling and from under the constantly shining light. And maybe the bed elevated a bit--enough to allow a large live pig to be chained under it. . . maybe a big sow with about 12 piglets running around the cell. . . and maybe a child's toy plastic shovel about hand size to shovel pig shit into a too-small bucket. . . . and constant preaching in Arabic about Allah being a demonic moon god and Mohammad listening to a demon spirit guide to get the Koran.

7 X 24 Geraldo reruns!,

Good God man, have you no soul?????

[Scott from the Left Coast]

disorient and deprive him

Ah, yes...they are playing hardball with him...they're just learning the proper uses for euphemisms. I hope he wakes up "tomorrow" and thinks it's 2014 and he's talking to Bin Laden himself.

Sleep deprivation, Versed and scopolamine, with a native Arabic-speaking interrogator in a dark quiet room. Much more humane than cattle prods and thumb screws, and probably more effective too, as tortured prisoners will say whatever it is they think their captors want to hear.

"He [Zubaydah] will be interrogated about his knowledge of ongoing plans to conduct terrorist activities," he added.

Pour some gasoline in his wounds while their open, he'll talk.....

[JimSEA]

The commentators on Brit Hume's show yesterday indicated that a person could be "taught" to resist drugs. Is that possible?

I wonder when Johnny Walker's attorney with take this guy as a client?

[princess leah]

I LIKE the way you think, Quix!

I would crack after 5 minutes of "Veggie Tales."

More than likely the interrogators will use chemical, electric and sleep deprivation methods.

Lock him in a room with the Provincetown civic association and hold off the vaseline.
