Kinder, Gentler, More Effective Interrogations

USA Today has a report about the change in interrogation techniques in Iraq since the Abu Ghraib abuses surfaced. Techniques have shifted from physical abuse and intimidation to more subtle techniques that emphasize the establishment of trust between the interrogator and suspect. Guess what? The new "kinder, gentler" method is producing more useful intelligence than the old methods. Maybe Kerry was on to something when he talked about waging a "more sensitive" war on terror?
