On the other hand... If one wanted to question the guy without bothering with his lawyers, he could always "escape", and never be heard from again. :-)

I tend to agree with your comments - I think he could have been "allowed to leave", instead of escaping. Maybe he was granted some sort of amnesty or something for his part in the Cole, in order to give us more information on 9/11.
