WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is considering overhauling the way terror suspects are interrogated by creating a small team of professionals drawn from across the government, according to people familiar with a proposal that will be submitted to the White House.
The new unit, comprising members of spy services and law-enforcement agencies, would be used for so-called high-value detainees, they said. In a switch from Bush-era efforts, it wouldn't be run by the Central Intelligence Agency, though who might be in charge isn't specified.

The military might want to take a pass on giving them terrorists to “interrogate”.
Wow! The Democrats are proposing yet another layer of government. And a kommittee too! This fits in quite nicely with their 5-year plan.
I really don’t think making them watch Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street videos will make them talk. But that’s just me.
Hey now, the comfy chair is nothing to sneeze at.
Bush water boarding bad.
0bamaa water boarding good
Freaking hypocrites
For all that hasn’t figured it out by now, the War On Terror is officially over...
My God. They really do think they know how to do EVERYTHING better, don’t they?
Next they’ll be trying to introduce a rounder wheel, or better-sliced bread.
Just another drip to destroy America. TO HELL WITH THEM!!!
What Obama needs is a terrorism Czar...
~~PING!
For all that hasn’t figured it out by now, the War On Terror is officially over...

Can’t anyone see this Evil Sonovabitch and his minions for what they are?
I heard it is going to be the Capital Park Police.
They’re all to be issued ostrich plumes and instructed in intensive tickling.
The ACLU, meanwhile, is said to be formulating a legal challenge to what it terms ‘this excessive use of duress.’
Why would any interrogator participate under any current set of rules? The political climate could shift and the best intentioned interrogations, under the strictest ineffective conditions could suddenly become criminalized.
What, they’re gonna make ‘em talk by making them laugh so hard they’ll beg for mercy?
IMO, it ended June 12, 2008.
You beat me to it!
