10:21 PST (AP) -- Other than torture or truth serum, American authorities have an array of options in extracting information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Captured Saturday in Pakistan, Mr. Mohammed was flown Monday to the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, the typical first stop for prisoners captured in the war against terrorism. Mr. Mohammed, al Qaeda's alleged leader of terrorist operations against the U.S. and the suspected brains behind the 9/11 attacks, may be tried eventually, but Washington's first priority is collecting intelligence to prevent future attacks and capture Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders.

I suspect this great "holy warrior" will crack like a robin's egg. Reports suggest he is like many of the higher echelon of the al Qaeda - a womanizing party boy, similar to osama bin laden, who I suspect is afflicted with Klinefelter's syndrome (typically XXY genotype with small testes, gynecomastia (enlarged breasts) and other maladies not normal to true XY males). These clowns are murderous puss*** who are comfortable only when attacking unarmed women and children. Consider the photo taken of him at capture. He doesn't look too good with sleep and fear in his eyes facing CIA SOG operatives in comparison to the "warrior" face in the widely distributed "class photo". What a jamoke.

I use a rotation of:
* Versed IV
* DieHard battery and jumper cables
* Louisville Slugger

I also will move that Ted Olson be given first choice and first crack at this piece of trash.

It's been long rumored that they actually have naked pictures of Helen Thomas.

Can they force him to shave off his chest hair and eat it? Would that be allowed?

The Versed IV will get the info - either that or sodium pentathol. The other two are more for... shall we say, venting?

Perhaps the interrogators should try a Saddam Hussein interrogation technique: put that fat hairy slob we just captured in one of those "acid-dripping-from-the-ceiling" rooms. He'll squeal like the pig he is in a matter of minutes.

Easy. Two words: sleep deprivation.

After 5 days without sleep, you will tell them anything they want.
