| US just waiting to talk to Zubaydah |
| 2002-04-02 |
They are already promising a lengthy interrogation of the al-Qaida operations chief, believed to be able to identify names, faces and locations of al-Qaida operatives the world over. Stan Bedlington, a former senior terrorism analyst with the CIA, called Zubaydah's capture "a major, major victory, if not the biggest victory so far... He will know the organization of al-Qaida, if he talks. Osama bin Laden is a master planner. He must have made some contingency plans (for a major U.S. military pursuit). If Abu Zubaydah was privy to that planning, then obviously he can tell us a lot, possibly where Osama bin Laden would go." My guess would be they intend to turn him inside out and then squeeeeeeze. After a throrough flensing they can put him here. Now, this is the type of fellow the human-rights folks ought to be worried about. I suspect Zubaydah will be in "protective custody" for some years, and only after the news pulps forget his name will he be tribunized and set to trimming the USMC's hedges at Club Gitmo for the rest of his natural days. The human rights advocates can waste their time on the low level gunnies at Gitmo now, but the Zubaydahs ain't never going to go free unless they get really friendly with the CIA. Can you hear me ululating? Above a madrassa, eh? Doesn't that come as a surprise. Wonder who that madrassa was affiliated with? |
