I wish I could remember exactly who said this but the other day I was watching a news channel (probably Fox since that is mainly the channel I watch) and one of the guests said that his information from sources he had involved in the interrogation of this person was that he was not very forthcoming with info and it was very slow getting info out of him. Further, that he was changing his stories throughout the interrogation process. While they might not be trained to withstand interrogation, they seem to be very adept in lying and giving out false information. All you have to do is look back on the various false info that has been obtained from the interrogations at GITMO and other captured terrorists.

Also, on another subject, just yesterday a former interrogator was being interviewed and he said that physical torture is not the best method of interrogating because the captive will almost always say whatever you want them to say eventually but that does not necessarily mean it is the truth.

Yes, I have likewise heard several police detectives, etc., say torture is not that effective. So we are getting mixed signals. Dunnigan, however, strongly emphasized that these people may be good at lying, but not at lying to well-trained interrogators who know how to trip them up and get info, even from a lie.
