Obama Administration Urged to Consider Expanded Interrogation Methods - Political News - FOXNews.com: "Questions are being raised about the effectiveness -- and toughness -- of the Army Field Manual's interrogation guidelines, the standard ordered across the board by the Obama administration in response to allegations of CIA abuse of detainees.
'The Army Field Manual is very, very restrictive in what it can do,' said Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra, the top Republican on the House intelligence committee. 'For high-value detainees, it's a joke. ... In theory, it sounds great.'
The guidelines are all psychological in nature. The methods include good cop-bad cop, the silent treatment, and a trick in which interrogators can pretend to be from another country.
But the administration, which is establishing a special unit for questioning high-value detainees, is now indicating it is open to examining new methods -- even as Attorney General Eric Holder launches a probe into alleged prisoner abuse under the Bush administration."
