Of all the elements of the new terrorism interrogation teams set up by . . . . Barack Obama and announced this morning, among the most important is the fact it will be headquartered at the Federal Bureau of Investigation rather than at the rival Central Intelligence Agency.
The new units will include personnel from a wide range of intelligence and law enforcement agencies, according to White House officials. But by bringing the interrogation units into the FBI, it moves them more definitively out from the world of black ops, where they have resided since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. . . . .
The shift could be a watershed for intelligence gathering. On top of making the FBI the lead agency, Obama also has ordered the new units to abide by the U.S. Army’s field manual on interrogations – a document based on the Uniform Code of Military Justice that closely incorporates international treaties like the Geneva Conventions.______________________________________________________
Editor's comments: what a great sounding idea. Did you know that it has been 5 months since the announcement of these new interrogation teams? 5 months. The article above was printed on August 24. And why is that important? BECAUSE, TO THIS DAY, NOT A SINGLE TEAM HAS BEEN CREATED; NOT A SINGLE PERSON HAS BEEN APPOINTED. The crotch bomber, last Christmas ??? He was not turned over to authorities for interrogation because there are no interrogation teams in existence !!
