Out how many, you know, 37,000 preconditions before theyd be willing to answer my challenge there, you want to take a whack at it? >> well, look. this is something that the fbi has been trained to do forever. one of the craziest things about bush administration counterterrorism policy was that interrogations were shifted into military apparatus in the beginning. lets recall and go back and look at some of the new yorkers incredible reporting. you had people doing interrogations whether in bagram...
