(sorry if someone's already pointed it out, I didn't see anything like it on the first page, I may just be blind)
I think it's obvious that they're putting Telford through the Rite of Mal Sha'ran. Jack wouldn't have authorised it otherwise (assuming he did indeed authorise it), as it was the way they got rid of Teal'c's brainwashing he would have thought of it. Even if it wasn't intentional he is going to go through the rite now, at which point he'll tell them where Rush is.
For SG-1 noobs (well maybe not noobs, as the Rite's only been mentioned in SG-1 twice...): The Rite of Mal Sha'ran is a way you can get over Goa'uld brain washing technology. To undergo this rite a Jaffa must remove his/her symbiote (or have it removed). This brings the Jaffa to the edge of death at which point his/her whole flashes before their eyes and they remember who they really are. (See, Season 5's "Threshold" and Season 9's "Stronghold)
Telford doesn't have a symbiote, but this process will bring him to the edge of death, and have the desired effect.
It's funny because I watched Stronghold last night, and Mitchell said "I don't think I'm gonna go through the Rite of Mal Sha'ran". Looks like he would have been able to.
