Truth Extraction
Another long article in the Atlantic Monthly on extracting intelligence information. It focuses on WWII Marine Major Sherwood F. Moran, who successfully extracted information from Japanese prisoners by treating them humanely. His techniques are now being reviewed by Marine interrogators in Iraq and Afghanistan. Moran's modus: Every soldier has a "story" he desperately wants to tell. The interrogator's job is to provide the atmosphere that allows the prisoner to tell it. Another good Sunday read.
