Scott Ott's Examiner Scrappleface: Couric to lead Obama's new elite interrogation unit
Washington Examiner | August 25, 2009 | Scott Ott

Posted on 08/25/2009 3:13:53 PM PDT by greyfoxx39

A new "elite interrogation unit", that President Barack Obama has appointed to quiz terrorism detainees, will apparently be run by CBS News anchor Katie Couric, rather than the Central Intelligence Agency.

If the report from anonymous sources proves accurate, the former NBC "Today" hostess, would head up the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, or HIG, under the president's National Security Council. Detainee-questioning sessions would be filmed before a live studio audience in Burbank, California.

"The president wants to ensure that these folks receive all the protections the U.S. Constitution affords other citizens," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. "We can't discriminate against them solely on the basis of their involvement in terror cells and their irrevocable commitment to extinguishing the lamp of liberty wherever it flickers."

The new HIG unit would represent a clean break from the Bush administration CIA, which Gibbs said, had been engaged in outsourcing negotiations, as late as November of 2008, with former CTU agent Jack Bauer.

Jenine Garofolo would be the best defender for the terrorists.

Oh for Pete’s sake! He got the name wrong; it’s the Huge Ugly Guy Interrogation unit, also know as HUGI, pronounced Huggie...Katie should be able to handle that.
