Not sure exactly where this system is headed but many of you east of where it is now need to stay tuned to your forecasts.

We're suppose to get those storms shortly after midnight.

"We're prohibited from using many coercive tactics to gain information from captured terrorists. I'm not sure the Iraqis feel such an obligation. I suspect every big dog we capture is yielding valuable information."

If by coercive you mean physical pain, then yes, that's right.

But pain is a poor man's way to get intel (generally useless).

On the other hand, if you've ever seen a young college girl pop two ecstasy pills, some crystal meth, with some rave music playing lightly in the background, you already know that she **WON'T SHUT UP**. She'll tell you anything that you want to know (and then some).

And that's with civilian street drugs. NO2 (as any dentist will tell you) can make some people giddy enough to tell you anything, too.

Low level non-stop "suggestive" chatter played as a drowsy person attempts to sleep can do some interesting things, as well.

The Israelis have some clever intel "games" that they play to elicit certain info, too.

None of these things require pain. Anyone who tells you that pain is the answer to intel is clueless about modern field work.

And besides, it's prohibited (for good reason).

I had a girlfriend once, a long, long time ago who had a dating philosophy that "a guy won't tell the truth until he no longer wants sex." So she'd start off a relationship with so much sex (for days) that the *man* would finally tell her to knock it off. At that point, she'd begin to believe her boyfriend's answers to her questions.

The point being that our minds are set up in certain ways, but once a trigger threshold is reached our minds then behave differently. And without giving away the show, that's along the lines of how modern fieldwork elicits reliable intel from captured agents.

Not via pain; via thresholds/triggers. But again, no pain is involved. Not in the real world.

Good evening.

Ya'all at the bottom of the thread, here is an interesting story from a liberal...

Time Traveler...

It's kinda long, but worth it.

OH, and for some of you science buffs too.

5.56mm

[kayak]

Guilty.

And grinning over the memories ... :-)

[tillacum]

That is an exciting shopping spree. I have done it with Roomey on a few occassions. Llama feed, horse sweet feed, hay, cedar ships, sand, 48 inch fans. It's really exciting.

[tillacum]

Who's getting married. I was gone for 2 days and missed something?

[kayak]

Thanks for the tip on getting bandages off ... though I'm not sure that at least some of my problem isn't the contact itself. I know that it was the removal that was pulling hide off though ... Ouch!

[tillacum]

Ah yest, remember almost all of them.

[tillacum]

Just let the hot water loosen the adhesive, sometimes the tape and bandage will fall off, sometimes it needs a little help. I've lost skin to adhesives too and that hurts. My Dr has a tape that comes off by itself, when it is ready, there is no pulling, nothing. It was a narrow tape and it followed my scar. I asked when to change it and the nurse said, it will come off when it's supposed to. It did. I did not have any trouble with that one. Unfortunately, I was not introduced to that tape/bandage until I was out of the hospital and in the Dr's office.

[tillacum]

Well, I guess I'll hit the hay. I'm tired and so is the hip. Beanie and I have been walking part of the golf course in the AM, it's nice.

Y'all take care and sleep well.

Nite All.

WELCOME HOME EV. So happy to hear you're here for awhile.
