The use of force, mental torture, threats, insults, or
exposure to unpleasant and inhumane treatment of any kind as
an aid to interrogation is prohibited by law, both international
and ddmestic; it is neither authorized nor condoned. The
interrogator must never take advantage of the source's weaknesses
to the extent that the interrogation involves threats, insults,
torture or exposure to unpleasant or inhumane ‘treatment of any
kind. Experience indicates that the use of force is not necessary
to gain cooperation of sources. Use of force is a poor technique,
yields unreliable results, may damage subsequent collection
efforts, and can induce the source to say what he thinks the
interrogator wants to hear. Additionally, the use of force will
probably result in adverse publicity and/or legal action against
the interrogator (et. al) when the source is released. However,
the use of force is not to be confused with psychological ploys,
verbal trickery, or other nonviolent and non-coercive ruses
employed by the interrogator in the successful interrogation of
reticent or uncooperative sources.INTRODUCTION
