Well, there are men better suited to it in that there are men who are capable of lying to a direct question, but whatever. Javert is petty, unthinkingly obedient to authority, cruel for the sake of cruelty; qualifications enough.

Enjolras has enough friends who vent their feelings with loud ranting (and occasionally setting things on fire; hi, Bahorel and Courfeyrac) -- and besides that, agrees with enough of this, which probably shows -- that he's not particularly inclined to interrupt as long as Harry seems to be finding some satisfaction in the sound of his own contemptuous voice.

When Harry seems to be winding down or taking a pause for breath, though, he'll say, "He was caught, and was to be executed. Instead, unfortunately, he lives."

Harry doesn't know any particular details of their uprising that could harm anyone if Javert learned of them. Enjolras doesn't know everything that he and Feuilly have discussed, but he knows that, without question, and without any need to ask Feuilly about it. Still, with the rest of them dead, it seems like relevant information to mention.
