I agree with Yeager on this one. Put them on the rack.
What's interesting with these idiots is that they started from nothing. Insofar as we have information, these were just a bunch of disaffected muslims. They decided to become an arm of terror pretty much out of the blue. Maybe cause they couldnt get laid.
But starting from ZERO, they managed to get contacts and started a campaign to get $50k and put together some logistics towards making contact outside their little world. And it's those initial pointers that are of interest. Websites, maybe? How do you get a terror plot going when you grew up in Miami and know jack about terror plots?
Having grown up in comfy America, I doubt they'd last long in the chair with the baseball bat to the knees. These guys may actually yield some intel.
And as a Chicago native, I can say that - having never been to NYC - I tried to visualize what was happening on 9/11 by imagining the Sears Tower falling down. Until you've stood on Wacker and Jackson and looked straight up at the thing - you have no idea how massive it is. You think you can imagine it, but until you get there does it hit you. Trying to imagine that thing coming down at once is unimaginable. And it almost certainly has the same structural problems that the WTC did. The metal suspension is somewhat offset by the fact its a series of columns, so it may not have come straight down.
What I'd like to know is how the Feds got the intel. Did they use the internet surveillance tools or the data from the phone providers?
