The thing is, though, that all those manuals and studies
were written by actual intelligence experts, military people with front-line
experiance in interrogating prisoners, psychologists...
people who know what they're talking about.
Of course, whatever intelligence" is gathered needn't be used anyway. For example, before September 11th,
"French intelligence [and remember, we're supposed to utterly hate the French] supplied Washington a
dossier connecting Moussaoui to known terrorist groups".
