hi guest

any further discussion should go somewhere else, not on a joke thread, but because you're a guest i can't pm you. no, i don't support suicide bombers, and i care about the young people who are there in the front line.

i have had a lot of experience with interviewing and , yes, interrogating people, including human rights violators, and have worked with interrogators who use a lot of different "techniques" including various non violent forms of coercion.

if you grill someone under pressure, over a long period of time, they will say anything, after a while, whatever you want to hear. But it doesn't mean a thing, and "intelligence" gained through coercion is often a load of crap. coercion is the sign of an inept interviewer, in my opinion, all that person will extract from a subject is their own projected prejudices.

to me, torture is the last method for someone with no understanding of the person they are interviewing - understand the person's language, culture, religion, politics and you will gain so much more.
