Report: CIA seizes Bin Laden’s son-in-law, an Al Qaeda spokesman, in Jordan
Abu Ghaith, the former spokesman of the Al-Qaeda network, was seized last month at a luxury hotel in Ankara after a tip-off from CIA and was held there by the police despite a US request for his extradition.
Turkish authorities deported Abu Ghaith to Jordan on March 1 to be sent back to Kuwait but he was seized by CIA agents in Jordan and taken to the United States, the Hurriyet newspaper said…
He appeared in a propaganda video in the aftermath of 9/11, standing beside bin Laden, who was killed in May 2011 in Pakistan in a covert US operation.

I’d do a lot more than waterboard him.

Stick around, the fun is about to begin!
He was taken the NYC to be charged, which means he will be tried in NYC! What fun! Wait til we get the bill for that security!

Make him watch Michelle Obama on the stairmaster until he talks.

I imagine that’s a violation of the Geneva Convention right there. Better to waterboard him. The frightening memories will be fewer and not last as long.

Huh? They didn’t just use a drone and a Hellfire missile?
Oh, wait – those are reserved exclusively for Americans.
My bad.

Use that new “pain beam” they’re testing for riot control.
