It only took a public thrashing to get Obama and pals to figure out that hey, maybe we want to get this Christmas Day Bomber to cooperate after all:
The Nigerian man accused of trying to use a bomb hidden in his underwear to bring down a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day has been cooperating with investigators since last week, discussing his contacts in Yemen and providing intelligence in multiple terrorism investigations, officials said Tuesday.Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s cooperation could prove to be a national security victory and a political vindication for President Barack Obama, who has been under fire from lawmakers who contend the administration botched the case by giving Abdulmutallab the right to remain silent, rather than interrogating him as a military prisoner.
In the days following the failed bombing, a pair of FBI agents flew to Nigeria and persuaded Abdulmutallab’s family to help them. When the agents returned to the U.S., Abdulmutallab’s family came, too, according to a senior administration official briefed on the case. The family persuaded Abdulmutallab to work with the FBI, believing he would be treated fairly in U.S. courts, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.

Recall that the father of Abdulmutallab tried to warn our country about his sons nefarious intentions, to no avail.
What are the odds we will see this kind of stuff often from the families of other terrorists? Do we not often see the families laud their child’s “heroic” actions? But hey, I’m sure we will be able to get those families to come to our rescue.
Not likely.

Put him in a cell with Jihad Johnny for 20 years.
Wow...interesting, eh? So many mysteries.
Traitorous skunks....... Holder and Obama. Anything they get from him now is stale. They will get 5% of what they could have if the crotch bomber had been interrogated immediately. With his crotch burns and wounds you only give him more painkillers as he spills his guts over a few days
No talkie...no pain killer
Rather interesting take on the old man’s aheemm business involvements. Probably exhorts money from people on the side.
