Is anyone else as confused as me regarding all the terrorists supposedly giving up the goods on each other? This is supposedly a group of fanatical people with a very specific goal in mind. Why in the world would they roll-over on each other as soon as they are captured? Its not like we are going to go easier on them for information. Any opinions on this subject or are we being fed BS?

Top Terrorist Talking (Nashiri) Damn straight he's talking! If he's not talking, that means that the CIA isn't beating him hard enough. I hope the President signed paperwork relegating this scumball's civil rights to the trashcan.
I say find out what this guy knows, put him in front of a military tribunal, then push him out of a C-130 over the north Atlantic.

No one knows how they would respond under pressure until they actually find themselves in such a situation.
There are a number of possibilities. Maybe he's the kind of guy who likes to send in other people to die, but didn't expect to get captured himself. Maybe he was tricked into revealing certain information, and once he opened up that encouraged him to talk more. Maybe he hasn't talked at all, but the CIA wants his friends to think he has.
Presumably we are only being told what the authorities want us (and al Qaeda) to know.

The announcent of his talking being leaked to the press could be part of the good guy bad guy senerio.
You tell him that you will tell the world he is talking and then if he doesn't, you tell him that you will cut him loose.
He didn't talk, HE didn't talk = Strike #2.
Now if he talks, no strike #3. If he does not talk, sorry your OUT...
Why else would the press have this story?

Maybe they're so willing to talk because word got around that one of the last bigwig al Qaeda clowns we captured got a 9MM vasectomy on the process.
I understand he's singing in a higher octave now.
