A "New Interrogation" Team - Should We Worry?


The tales of detainee abuse and the use of torture to elicit information are still fresh wounds on our nation. This administration was ushered in at least partially by the promise of reform. This new league of High Value Interrogation Specialists, however, doesn't seem like it is what we were looking for this time around.
The government will use experts from its intelligence and law enforcement agencies to interrogate detainees that are considered to be of "High Value." Currently there isn't a definition offered for what high value means. But, we do know that this agency will be under the National Security Council, putting them directly under the White House.

Read this article for yourself and let us know what you think. Should be worried that this is simply another name for the same old policies of fear and abuse?
