Good call. You'll have to forgive him though. The terrorist handbook says the first thing you should do when captured is say you were coerced or tortured into confessing. You'd be amazed at how many people believe it.

Such a big man with a gun in your hands, eh? But when it comes time to pay for your crimes you're just a pathetic little coward like all those others of your ilk.

I thought the guy was a young dude. This suspect looks much older and heavier.

This 'person' was caught on camera killing scores of innocent civilians. The cyber jihaaadis are having a tough time defending their brothren.t.

if you want information you interrogate.

If you want a confession you torture.

I'm not sure the world is getting the "straight arrow" story on this attack.

;-) yeah right and the machine gun you used to kill tens of people was actually a paintball gun. Your fellow Pakistani islamic terror brethrens were muppets. All this a huge conspiracy to blame an innocent Pakistani terrorist
