A book by an interrogator who rejected torture in favor of "showing cultural understanding and using good old-fashioned brainpower to tease out information," and managed to bag the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in the process.Apparently, some members of the military command are not only unconvinced by the arguments against torture; they don't even want the public to hear them.Alexander, a pseudonymous air force officer, was trained in the post-Abu Ghraib interrogation techniques that replace "fear and control" with "respect, rapport, hope, cunning and deception." I guess will be waiting a long time for the Lynndie England book to come out.
This is more about this interrogator in the Washington Post here.
