Then why, pray tell, did Obama-Holder&Co got to the trouble of creating "HIG" High Value Intelligence Group on August 29th, 2009 - if they never intended for guys like Atabmullahab to be quizzed by them?

The Task Force concluded, however, that the United States could improve its ability to interrogate the most dangerous terrorists by forming a specialized interrogation group, or High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG), that would bring together the most effective and experienced interrogators and support personnel from across the Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense and law enforcement. The creation of the HIG would build upon a proposal developed by the Intelligence Science Board.

To accomplish that goal, the Task Force recommended that the HIG should coordinate the deployment of mobile teams of experienced interrogators, analysts, subject matter experts and linguists to conduct interrogations of high-value terrorists if the United States obtains the ability to interrogate them. The primary goal of this elite interrogation group would be gathering intelligence to prevent terrorist attacks and otherwise to protect national security. Advance planning and interagency coordination prior to interrogations would also allow the United States, where appropriate, to preserve the option of gathering information to be used in potential criminal investigations and prosecutions.

It's either the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing or, more likely, both hands are dedicated to protecting Muslim terrorists and not offending Muslim nations.

IIRC, it came out recently that they never actually created it.
