Prosecutors want to question shoe bomber, Richard Reid

[madokie]

I wonder what they have in mind for him, you know they are going to torture the hell out of him and it will all be for naught, he's already incarcerated and too much time has passed for him to have any relevant info. imo

BOSTON - Federal investigators told a judge Tuesday that they want to question would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid because it was likely that he has "important information" about terrorist activities.

But prosecutors said in U.S. District Court they don't believe Reid is entitled to a public defender now that his criminal case is over.

Reid, a British citizen and self-described follower of Osama bin Laden, pleaded guilty in 2002 to trying to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes. He is now serving a life sentence at a maximum-security federal prison in Florence, Colo.

In April, a judge extended a 2003 order allowing Reid to continue to be represented by federal public defenders. At the time, Reid was expected to be called as a witness in the trial of al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. Reid was never called as a witness.

1. What... now? After all this time? What a farce.

I would like to slap him though for making us all have to take our shoes off just to board a damn plane.

4. How about some waterboarding?

That goofball would make up all kinds of crazy stuff if they waterboarded him. Then they could really raise those terror alert levels.
