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.
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.

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.
Manilow. 24/7.
Wait. Liberals will claim it’s worse torture than waterboarding! Scratch that, back to the drawing board!
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.
Terrorist: “Ahhh This is great soup!!! What is in it???
Interrogator: “Pork”
Awww. Isn’t that cute? All it took to tame the big, bad terrorist was a plate of cookies.
We’ve been going about it all wrong!! Thanks TIME magazine!
Just when you thought that “professional journalists” could not become sillier, they come up with something like this.
Just think. If would have sent Adolf Hitler a few Girl Scout cookies, he would have surrendered without a fight.
All it took was a handful of sugar-free cookies ... some interrogators' "sleight of hand" and a full year in a miserable third world jail without a Michelin star rating ...and he finally gave up some year-old very dated info to an interrogator named "Ali Soufan."
Of course if the only interrogation method we ever used was cookies the liberals would still claim it was a "harsh technique" and "torture" - we'd be told the cookies weren't gluten-free, or Dick Cheney put peanuts in them knowing terrorists could have food allergies.
