Are we being played?

Now this is a thought that occurred to me during a session in what I have alternatively call the holy place and the seat of creativity. The loo. Just as every concerned citizen, I too am zealously following all that is happening in the aftermath of the Mumbai carnage. More interestingly I am following the so called interrogation of Kasab - the captured terrorist. He was in custody when the hostage situation was still in progress.
One thing that really surprised me was that when you have a terrorist in custody you will obviously question him on how many of his kind were holed up at the Taj (since authorities till the end claimed they weren't really sure of how many were there). But this doubt was dispelled when newspapers reported Kasab as saying that each team that was sent out did not know that the other's mission was. Surprising, since they were all supposed to be leaving the place after they perpertrated their atrocities together. I mean wouldn't you know where your colleagues in crime were and what they had been up to?
Another thing I find very strange is the fact the contrasting reports on his interrogation - one day you have the man pleading for saline saying he does not want to die. The next day you have the papers say that Kasab was mocking his interrogators that his kind had given the Indians a provincial slap in the face with the terror they manage to wreak.
Yet another day you have the man spewing all the details of his life - his lowly background, sad recruitment into the LeT, the palpable threat to his family should he break under pressure and so on. At this point I voice yet another point of view - since LeT works on the basis of being jihadis - in other words those that wage a holy war, Kasab is the equivalent of a war prisoner. Basic armed forces training keeps you ready to face the eventuality of being in the hands of the enemy and teaches you not to buckle under pressure. So how does a terrorist like Kasab, with ingrained training under the marine wing of the LeT (can you imagine the terrorist "marine" wing is better armed than our own recognised forces) start spilling the beans with just a slap on the wrist. I mean he is still said to be in a hospital and so we know he is not being tortured or such. Do you really think a man who is motivated in the most twisted of ways and who can murder a small child in cold blood without blinking, will be scared of us and start talking with such lucidity?
Really makes me wonder if these terrorists are also trained in playing mind games and are actually telling us what we want to hear!
