|

It is easy to intercept transmissions-but the human brain is still one of the
|
||
safest places to keep information. This phile will help you pull information
|
||
from the bodies greatest fortress.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Pain
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
Pain used to be the most popular sort of interrigation. The thumb screw and
|
||
the rack were famous for "loosening a strong man's tongue." Pain, however, is a
|
||
two-edged weapon. Its infliction may be able to bring quick results-- but a
|
||
victim pushed to extremes of pain may babble anything his questioners wish to
|
||
hear. Torture can also harden a few individuals. They may resist until death,
|
||
or prove poor exhibits at a subsequent trial. Also torture can bring about
|
||
negative propaganda towards the torturer.
|
||
|
||
The Five S's
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
1. Stop and search. At checkpoints or randomn searches, clothing is checked
|
||
of weapons, and people are checked against photos to see if they are the
|
||
suspects being searched for.
|
||
|
||
2. Segregation. As soon as possible, suspects should be seperated from one
|
||
another. This helps to break down the suspect's will and allows statements
|
||
made by other suspects to be checked. Also it reduces the possibility of two
|
||
or more suspects cooperating together to come up with a clever plan to escape.
|
||
|
||
3. Silencing. A bag put over the suspect's head disori- ents and isolates
|
||
the subject.
|
||
|
||
4. Speed of interrogation. Initial "safe" questions throw a suspect off
|
||
guard, and quick "unsafe" questions may be answered unknowingly by the suspect.
|
||
|
||
5. Safeguard. Thick, steel, locked doors bar escape and crush the suspect's
|
||
will.
|
||
|
||
Sensory Deprevation
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
In civil custody, the same isolation is used as a tool throughout many
|
||
Western countries. Police forces can deny access to solicitors or friends on
|
||
the grounds that information may be passed to the suspect's associates in
|
||
crime. Techniques of sensory deprivation can aid the proceess of isolation.
|
||
|
||
Hooded or crowned with an upturned bucket, the simple lack of light and
|
||
vision can swiftly break a prisoner's grasp on normal realities. The use of
|
||
"white noise"--a recording of sounds across the spectrum, not unlike the hiss
|
||
of escaping steam-- blots out auditory contact with the world. Drugs used by
|
||
Syrian captors of Israeli soldiers remove all sensations of sight, smell,
|
||
hearing and touch, but left the brain active.
|
||
|
||
To increase time disorientation, periods of lightness and darkness may be
|
||
varried irregularly. Meals can be produced at odd intervals so a prisoner
|
||
looses track of the days of captivity. Even before a formal interrogation has
|
||
begun, the suspect has already lost contact with reality.
|
||
|
||
Confusion and uncertainty are increased if his captors treat him with
|
||
absolute "correctness." Many experts now regard such an approach as more
|
||
effective than abuse or hostillity towards a suspect--which gives him a focus
|
||
for his aggression and a recognizable opponent. The captors should reveal no
|
||
emotion and not talk amongst themselves. They should restrict conversation
|
||
with the prisoner to monosyllabic commands and orders.
|
||
|
||
Since Man is a social animal, the surge of relief encountered when he is lead
|
||
into a room and comforted by an apparent friend may overwhelm his determination
|
||
to keep silent.
|
||
|
||
Soft Man, Hard Man
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
The "Hard Man, Soft Man" technique is definately the most interesting form of
|
||
non-drug interrogation to be produced by the twentieth century.
|
||
|
||
It is basically this: One interrogator ("The Hard Man") is violent and
|
||
unfriendly. He insults and may physically attack the suspect. The other
|
||
interrogator is nice, friendly, and compassionate. He may offer the prisoner
|
||
something to eat or cigarretes. He also establishes a friendly relationship by
|
||
opening a conversation, rather than by conducting a question-and-answer period.
|
||
One will hurt the subject, the other will comfort the subject, and then the
|
||
"Hard Man" will take over again. Despite awareness of the game he is caught up
|
||
in, the prisoner finds it difficult not to relax and lower his guard with the
|
||
"Soft Man".
|
||
|
||
Breaking Alliances
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
The toughest job of an interrogator is getting the prisoner to break faith
|
||
with his freinds or organization. He must convince him that his group has
|
||
rejected him, or that they have cooperated also, thus exonerating him from
|
||
silence. At his most effective, the interrogator uses a mix of suggestion and
|
||
deprivation to pursuade the captive to identify with the new group that the
|
||
captive represents.
|
||
|
||
Lack of sleep is another very effective method of breaking down a suspects
|
||
will.
|
||
|
||
Well, have phun with these methods, and remember "A phile is a phile!"
