#1 A bullet through his head, and another of Al Qaeda's spider web strings will be cut.

If the Algerians want to put him on trial first, then execute him, that'll work too.

#3 No, no, no...a thorough interrogation, followed by a lifetime in Algerian prison would work just fine. No need for a quick end.

#4 I say let the Algerians squeeze every possible bit of intel up to and including those deepest family secrets with the utmost prejudice then if he lives give whats left a trial then swift execution.

If we give him life imprison 10-20yrs from now when no one remebers or notices he will be cut loose in some deal, the isrelis do it all the time give life sentences then later on trade them for hostages and have to go recapture the damm guys again its a never ending cycle, killem then thier is no future problem exept killing whats left.

#5 "... arrested last week ..."
I bet he hasn't had a real pleasant week. I wonder what phone numbers and e-addresses showed up on the computers, and how far the NSA has traced their interconnections so far. On the assumption the Algerians have some 'friends' in US Special Ops. 20 million isn't chump change, and the loss will cause some discomfort.

#6 The thing that I am most worried about is that intel was obtained from him by depriving him of sleep, using loud music, and humiliation. If we did that, we tainted the evidence.

Oh never mind, we are not going to have him ~~epedited~~ extradited and ~~drawn and quartered~~ try him in court. My bad. Carry on.

#7 BTW, second thought. He comes with his own reward money. Self contained unit. I like that.

#8 Algeria is in a kind-of corrupt region.
I would multiply the $20mil by a factor of 10.

#9 I bet he hasn't had a real pleasant week.

It would be a similar understatement to say that the ocean is "rather damp."
