Dec 2001: Wolfowitz torture advice
http://www.s-t.com/daily/12-01/12-22-01/a02wn025.htm
"Interrogators are trained to begin with questions whose answers they already know, providing a truthfulness check of the prisoner, Cobb said. The military also gives its interrogators language and culture training.
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz has suggested that drawing information out of senior terrorist leaders will take a long time because many of them are "skilled liars."
"They lie shamelessly. When you catch them out in a lie, they go on to another lie," he said at a Pentagon briefing this week. "This is not a simple matter -- you sit down and have an interview and then you dispose the information. And it's a reason also to keep each one of them guessing as to what we've learned from someone else."

"They lie shamelessly. When you catch them out in a lie, they go on to another lie"

Gee Wolfowitz, "Projecting?"

2. Geneva Convention be damned.
The War on terror is a war in name only, according to the Cabal. If it was a true declared war, those being interrogated would only need to give name, rank and serial #.
