In any case, I agree that he can be a source of information (although after six years of torture..uh.. I mean enhanced interrogation, I wonder how much he even remembers)
But a continued threat to the United States interests?
Seems a bit much for a talking dog and "gopher"
How about we promote him from gopher to super secret cell leader so we can claim that we captured yet another "high level AQ leader" and hand out more awards?

In the same breath that you state he could be a source of good information, you poke fun of him not being a threat as a translator...hence my post.
Are you claiming that someone is no longer a threat to ones security if he's questioned?
He was a terrorist, and still is a terrorist...there's no debate involved!
