"1. Non-coercive, traditional, rapport-based interviewing approaches 
provide the best possibility for obtaining accurate and complete 
intelligence."

So, perhaps what they are suggesting here is . . .

Replacing that mean, intimidating, vicious-looking interrogator, equipped 
with whips and waterboarding stuff with . . .

Jenny McCarthy in a red-lace teddie?

or

Rachel Maddow in a black leather bustier?

The suffering one must endure for tehir country.
