| | Interrogation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An important legal protection against interrogation in the United States of America is the right to remain silent and to demand the presence of a lawyer. | | | These are outlined by the authority conducting the interrogation and are in accordance with standing law. | | | Note that no prohibition forbids the interrogator from lying, from making misleading statements or from implying that the interviewee has already been implicated in the crime by someone else. |

| | POV-MIRANDA: "INTERROGATION" |
| | Nevertheless, the courts have consistently ruled it is not interrogation when an officer merely answers a suspect's question if, (1) the question was volunteered, (2) the officer's answer was brief and to the point, and (3) there were no indications of coercion. | | | Although most interrogation occurs when officers are directly questioning a suspect, the courts have recognized there are more subtle methods of obtaining incriminating statements. | | | the court ruled that interrogation did not occur when an officer, who was inventorying the contents of a suspect's wallet in his presence, merely pulled out a credit card that happened to be stolen. |

| | Interrogation is the art of questioning and examining a source to obtain the maximum amount of usable information. | | | Through his knowledge of uniforms, insignia, decorations, and other distinctive devices, the interrogator may be able to determine the rank, branch of service, type of unit, and military experience of a military or paramilitary source. | | | In either case, the interrogator uses the objective as a basis for planning and conducting the interrogation. |

| | Prior to the award of the interrogation task orders, CACI employed no interrogators and had to recruit them to fill the required positions, said J. William Koegel, CACI legal counsel."The fact that contract documents specified one set of requirements rather than another, therefore, did not provide any advantage to CACI," he said. | | | Because the Army awarded task orders for interrogation services to CACI under an Interior contract for technology services, GSA determined that interrogation was clearly out of scope of the agreement's intent and could be possible grounds for debarring or suspending CACI from future government work. | | | From a variety of perspectives, "the use of contract interrogators and linguists at Abu Ghraib was problematic," the report finds. |

| | The interrogation rules that local officers developed for Iraq explicitly stated that they were promulgated under Geneva authority, and that the conventions applied. | | | But the interrogators pushed into the outer limits of what they thought the law allowed, undoubtedly recognizing that the prisoners in their control violated everything the pacts stood for. | | | In the summer of 2002, the CIA sought legal advice about permissible interrogation techniques for the recently apprehended Abu Zubaydah, Usama bin Ladin’s chief recruiter in the 1990s. |

| | A Consequentialist Argument against Torture Interrogation of Terrorists |
| | For a long historical comparison, examination of court records for 625 cases of torture interrogation in France, from the 1500s through the mid-1700s, showed approximate rates of error—that is, no confession on the rack, under repeated drowning, crushing of joints, and the like—in 67% to 95% of cases, depending on the province. | | | The appeal is that rare use of torture interrogation of key terrorists could thwart terrorist plans of mass destruction at minimal cost to civil liberties and democratic process. | | | Because of their numbers, networks, jurisdictions, and the urgency of action, in any torture interrogation program the police will be at the forefront of detention and interrogation of terrorist suspects. |

| | Prisoner Abuse: Patterns from the Past |
| | Washington D.C. May 12, 2004: CIA interrogation manuals written in the 1960s and 1980s described "coercive techniques" such as those used to mistreat detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, according to the declassified documents posted today by the National Security Archive. | | | The two CIA manuals, "Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual-1983" and "KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation-July 1963," were originally obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the Baltimore Sun in 1997. | | | The report recommends, for example, that in choosing an interrogation site "the electric current should be known in advance, so that transformers and other modifying devices will be on hand if needed." Of specific relevance to the current scandal in Iraq is section nine, "The Coercive Counterintelligence Interrogation of Resistant Sources," (pp 82-104). |
