Interrogation

The report above has just come out. It is long, 327 pages, and sometimes redundant.

It is interesting. The report is a study about how to get people to talk about what they know and how to know whether what they say is 'true.'

There are very few well done studies about what 'works.' It seems that all the TV approaches and Soviet era pain based techniques make interesting drama but do not educe correct information.

The method that works the best is empathy and connection, a method that the best salesmen use daily.
