Ex-Navy SEAL and nanny 'Otter' does bird over Broadcom

Two birds, one stone

Send him to Gitmo.

This will have two possible answers:

Can someone be broken by the interrogation methods used? If not, it isn't working and should be dropped.

How resistant are Seals to interrogation techniques. If they don't crumble, you can more fully brief them and make their operational efficiency higher.

And if he does break, the judge gets their answers.

Mark:

That's a fine solution if you support the use of torture to extract information for use in court.

Tell us, though, have you ever contested a speeding ticket or jaywalking ticket? Would the soldering iron or the lash have been more effective at getting you to say what the prosecutor wanted to hear?

Perhaps something more torture lite?

What technique should the police have used on you if you failed to abjectly admit your sin when they pulled you over?

to be blunt that's a dumb ass response. Seals are trained to resit interrogation,. you are not talking about the average member of the public.

Good job he wasn't in the UK Navy....

...they'd only have to take his iPod away to get him to talk.

@ Scott, @ kain preacher

Scott;

"A Navy Seal like any member of the military offers themselves as the sacrificial element required to fulfil the MISSION; done within the framework of your Country you are a Patriot, outside of that your an idiot."

You say this as if being a patriot isn't itself somewhat idiotic when we're all the same race and all stem from the same place anyway. This is particularly so in the case of relatively young nations like America which are only a few generations removed from being mostly European or African anyway.

Being a patriot just means you're ignorant of history and the bigger picture. The fact is, I'm no closer to the Queen than I am Kim Jong Il, I've had just as many dealings with them i.e. none.

To be blunt, that's an even more dumb ass response. Ignoring the fact that Mark's comment was seemingly humorous sarcasm that yourself and E apparently failed to grasp you're also indirectly suggesting that detainees of Guantanamo are just members of the public. If you really think the Guantanamo detainees (some of Al Qaeda/Taliban's finest) as opposed to the average joe taliban from Afghanistan that's sat in Afghan jails isn't well trained also then you're clearly not in any position to comment on such things. The difference is with the Taliban/Al Qaeda they believe no matter what happens they'll go to Allah so are arguably often even harder to break, these are people with no fear of death, no worries and often nothing to lose - breaking someone like that is much harder than breaking someone who has been brought up in Western society. Of course, Seals are going to be trained better than your average joe in resisting interrogation but don't assume that some of Al Qaeda/Taliban/various other terrorist group key figures aren't also equally hard to break.
