The most successful interrogation of an Al-Qaeda operative by U.S. officials required no sleep deprivation, no slapping or "walling" and no waterboarding. All it took to soften up Abu Jandal, who had been closer to Osama bin Laden than any other terrorist ever captured, was a handful of sugar-free cookies.

"He was a diabetic and couldn't eat anything with sugar in it." At their next meeting, the Americans brought him some sugar-free cookies, a gesture that took the edge off Abu Jandal's angry demeanor.

So, sugar cookies, popcorn, figs, whatever - food raises blood sugar. Most diabetics know this. Most non diabetics do not, and think they can impress people by using this generalization.
I have a big problem with this story as it is presented. The TIME presentation of it is typical of their editorializing.
So, if we give Islamofascist terrorists some cookies, they’ll tell us everything we need to know? Awesome! Imagine what we could get with a couple of Klondike bars.
Oh, please. I suppose they were singing Kumbaya when they offered him the cookies, and that calmed him down, too. Time magazine is so stupidly transparent in pushing its agenda that it’s no wonder no one reads it and it is in financial deep do-do.
That’s cookie boarding!
my way.....blindfold the terrorist son of a bitch. tie him securely, standing nude upright, between a pair steel poles. set a lit blowtorch on a table, close enough where he can hear/feel the thing. wait 10 minutes. take off the blindfold. he will then talk. if for some reason he thinks he’s a tough guy, cook his ass. if he still doesn’t talk, kill ‘im and repeat the process with terrorist number 2.
Good... all we need is more cookies. POtuS might be able to pull that one off................ with some help.
The key to “Peace” in the Middle East might be to just send Mikey Jackson over there for a sleepover with some “warm milk and cookies?” Time might be on to something here.
Call Ziva David!
I find sugar free stuff raises my blood sugar nearly as much as sugary treats, esp. the candies.
Has anyone ever been tickled? Under duress of tickling I will do just about anything to make it stop. I wonder if we’ve tried that.
Oh geez...cookies?? This is the best that those lily-bellied libs could come up with? And I thought bringing them to McDonald’s would make them talk (sarc/)
Manilow. 24/7.
Wait. Liberals will claim it’s worse torture than waterboarding! Scratch that, back to the drawing board!
Of course they were singing Kumbaya. That’s how the civilized liberals do it.
I have a plan:
It involves IVs and draining blood, explaining what is going to happen before it is done. (Anyone donating blood should remember how weird it feels, and that’s when they’re trying to be ‘nice’.)
It also could involve some alcohol in such a low-blood state... it’ll be quite effective. (Yeah, there is that No Alcohol thing in the Koran.)
Finally, it involves returning their own blood, and if the psychological hit is needed, inform him that it’s pig’s blood being put into him.
Yeah, I’m cruel at times.
withhold chocolate and i will confess to being responsible for everything that has ever gone wrong from the beginning of the world to date. give me chocolate and no one gets hurt.
i would add that making terrorist number 2 watch the process with terrorist number 1 could make the 2nd more talkative.
great point, I will add that to the procedure’s SOP.
lol
From the last episode, she looks to be in trouble.
Terrorist: “Ahhh This is great soup!!! What is in it???
Interrogator: “Pork”
