Captured Taliban No. 2 'Singing Like a Male Canary' (but, but...what about his Miranda rights?)
FoxNews.com ^ | 3/11/2010

The former operations chief and second in command of the Afghan Taliban has been "singing like a male canary" since his arrest last month in Karachi, Pakistan, counterintelligence officials said Wednesday.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who was captured by Pakistani authorities in a raid, has become "a vital asset in gathering information on the Taliban and other extremist groups operating in the region," an unnamed Pakistani official told The Washington Examiner.

The intelligence gleaned from Baradar is aiding both U.S. and Pakistani efforts to seek out the terror group's leadership in the region, the officials said.

"He obviously does not want to be released under any circumstances. He would not survive after the information he has given the government," one Pakistani official told the paper.

So. The obamanistas have figured out the standard post-industrial American answer to national security: outsourcing. Doing the jobs Americans would do, but aren’t allowed. Nice. What planet am I on?

This cooperation by Pakistan is going to be the only way to defeat the Taliban and al Queada in Afghanistan. We can’t do it by ourselves. This is a good sign. Let’s hope it’s real and lasting. I think it is. The ISI and Pakistan government seem to have thrown in their lot with us. There’s no turning back now so they have to completely rid themselves of the Taliban and Al Queada.

these “Higher ups” in al Qaeda are nothing more than narcissitic little b@tches, arent they? Couldnt get a date with a girl, many seem to suffer from “Little man syndrome”, weedy scraggly face hairs- if they didn’t sell themselves to terrorist groups so they’d have an internet job thta paiud them an allowance, they’d just look like geeky nerds hanging out playing video games in their parents’ houses.

Cut him loose with a homing device implanted.

Deep inside his vitals so that there's no way to gain access with third world medical care.

Matter of fact, I'm sure there's ways of threading it through veins so that the point of entry does not give away the location.

"singing like a male canary"

Probably because of those chocolates on his pillow and his star treatment at the Karachi Hilton.

Funny how these Taliban leaders so fear for their earthly lives when they're so willing to send their naive, mindless countrymen to their deaths as suicide bombers.

What's the matter? He's not interested in his 72 virgins?

Whatever tactics the Pakistanis are using to get information from this guy works and we should try it.

I would imagine that interrogations in Pakistan consist of more than threats and lawyers. He can’t help but sing.

Whe we began working with “intelligence” in Pakistan...they had “0”. Any system they have is from us.

I don’t think the Pakistanis have much use for our notions of how to treat criminals.

When it comes to enhanced interrogation techniques they only make a choice between using the red wire or the green wire when attached to the testicals.

So glad the Pakistanis have this guy. It’s nice to contemplate the fact that his testicles are wired up to the household current at this very moment. No wonder he’s singing.
