He can pray all he wants. He knows he's a dead man walking--and we'll extract the information out of him one way or another.

instead reciting the Koran to himself

Hopefully with no teeth.

[Mr. Mojo]

The next step is attempting to get information from Mohammed. U.S. officials insist they eschew physical, violent torture

The future of our nation is on the line. The bastard should be on the receiving end of the the most horrific torture yet devised.

[RolandBurnam]

I hope we aren't too politically correct in extracting information from him. This guy deserves torture. He should have a death worse than Daniel Pearl. These guys are animals, treat them as such. Put this guy in a pen with some pigs and let him eat slop.

[1Old Pro]

I have a hard time believing anything ABC reports. Their "U.S. Official" is undoubtedly some left wing anti-Bush person who has a very low level position and know nothing about what is going on with the interrogations.

[APBaer]

" hope we aren't too politically correct in extracting information from him."

Well, his two kids were there.
Why didn't we snatch them,and threaten to , and if necessary, start slowly gutting them in front of him?

Torture often elicits what the tortured thinks the torturer wants to hear. It isn't necessarily a good way to get solid information from someone who is uncooperative. Note that U.S. officials say they don't use "physical, violent torture." Sounds like they want useful information, not revenge.

"This is equal to the liberation of Paris in the second World War," said Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, on ABC's This Week.

Poor analogy. Has anyone seen the French cheering along the Champs Elysee lateley? I think it's more like capturing Hermann Goering.

[HamiltonJay]

He'll crack... its just a matter of time... Remember all those hard core guys down in Gitmo? How many have tried suicide in the last few months... I don't care how solid your "faith"... there is only so much any human being can stand.. and since Al Queda is not a nation, its agents are illegal combatants and not protected by geneva convention... so please use all means neccessary on these nuts... the more painful the better.

[Catspaw]

Oh, the upcoming days are not going to be happy or comfortable ones for Khalif Shaikh Mohammed, I can tell you that. And it doesn't bother me one iota, not when I think of all the people he had murdered, maimed and injured for Islam.

[xsmommy]

given his hirsute appearance, i think a full body wax might loosen his tongue a bit....

[The Wizard]

I have to believe that this gentleman is going to be induced to provide everything he knows.

I am not for medevil means, but my gut tells me he knows so much that he may end up at the Mossaud and they will find out everything.

[Wright is right!]

"...but in the three days since his arrest he has refused to tell interrogators anything about planned attacks, instead reciting the Koran to himself, U.S. officials told ABCNEWS."

This means he's singing like a chorus of canaries.

"Disinformation ... is funny,
It makes... a cloudy day sunny..."

[ModelBreaker]

This sounds bogus. Since when does the FBI make daily reports on the progress of an interrogation, including thoughtful analyses of what interrogation techniques have been used and what technique the perp has used to avoid interrogation.

This is all disinformation, geared to maximally disrupt the al quaeda boys as we start a war.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Here's where Hillary can finally serve her country. They can threaten him with a lap dance from her and Janet Reno. They won't be able to stop him from squawking after that.

[Mr. Mojo]

I agree, it's far more important to get info than revenge. I hope they know what they're doing.

[Indy Pendance]

Oh, didn't you hear? The US has invited thousands of journalists to witness the actual interrogations. And any information related to the actual whereabouts of terrorists at large will be disclosed immediately to these journalists for exclusive scoops. (do I have to use sarcasm here?)

[Maceman]

the computers and cell phones seized during the arrest have not yielded the wealth of information that officials had hoped they would, U.S. officials told ABCNEWS.

Why would the government leak this? It would seem the better tactic would be to say that the computers and CDs yielded a wealth of new information.
