[Vision2020] interrogation

[Nick Gier]

Hi Roger,

You have asked about techniques that I would approve.  I would 
suggest the Army Field Manual.

The bill requiring that the CIA abide by this manual was vetoed by 
the President.  You must know that John McCain voted against it, even 
though previously he said that water boarding was torture.

In a previous post you said that you would defer to McCain, and I 
would hope that would be the straight-talking McCain not the 
meandering McCain who is now the GOP candidate.

"Truth is the summit of being; justice is the application of it to 
human affairs."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Abstract truth has no value unless it incarnates in human beings who 
represent it, by proving their readiness to die for it."
  --Mohandas Gandhi

"Modern physics has taught us that the nature of any system cannot be 
discovered by dividing it into its component parts and studying each 
part by itself. . . .We must keep our attention fixed on the whole 
and on the interconnection between the parts. The same is true of our 
intellectual life. It is impossible to make a clear cut between 
science, religion, and art. The whole is never equal simply to the 
sum of its various parts." --Max Planck
