Abdulmutallab Breaks Without Torture

The underpants bomber is once again giving information under questioning. This is according to Dennis Blair, the Director of National Intelligence. FBI agents didn’t even need the waterboard: according to the MSNBC report, Abdulmutallab is now cooperating as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.

Shockingly, it turns out that classic police and prosecutor techniques produce more reliable and better information than torturing someone at Gitmo. Whodathunkit?

Adding: there was a power outage here most of the day. Apologies for the lack of posts.

    No torture?
    Yeah, maybe, but where's the fun it that?
