Reply #29: Chocolate chip cookies [View All]

[KurtNYC]

You start your interview while a big tray of chocolate chip cookies are placed into a nearby oven. As the smell starts to fill the area, remind the subject that they won't be having any cookies unless they tell what they know. The cookies take about 12 minutes, when they come out and are still gooey and fragrant, they are placed just out of reach of the subject.

The interviewer picks up a cookie, tears it in half so that the still melted chocolate sags slightly, threatening to drip onto the floor and be wasted. "So where is bin Laden?" The interviewer begin eating half of the cookie.

A glass of cold milk is then introduced. The interviewer then dips the other half into the milk and eats it also. "Well... we're down to 11 cookies...you can still have a couple. Just tells us what we want to know."

If the subject does not answer adequately, repeat the following day while the subject is seated in the "comfy chair."
