IN NANY PARTS of THE WORLD. THIS is BECAUSE IN
COUNTRIES, THE TERM -QUESTIONING" HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED

' torture TO neutralise a terrorist group within
matter oe months, unfortunately, along with the
hundreds oe terrorists that were arrested and
-tortured, so WERE hundreds op innocent civilians.

SOCIETY SIMPLY WILL NOT CONDONE THIS.

C. THE ROUTINE USE OF TORTURE LOWERS THE MORAL
CALIBER OF THE ORGANIZATION THAT USES IT AND CORRUPTS
THOSE THAT RELY ON IT AS THE QUICK AND EASY WAY OUT. ..
WE STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THIS APPROACH AND INSTEAD
EMPHASIZE THE USE -OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES DESIGNED
TO PERSUADE THE SUBJECT TO WANT TO FURNISH US WITH THE •
INFORMATION WE DESIRE.

D. SUCCESSFUL “QUESTIONING" IS BASED UPON A
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT MATTER AND UPON THE USE OF'
PSYCHOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE NOT DIFFICULT TO
UNDERSTAND. WE WILL BE DISCUSSING TWO TYPES OF
TECHNIQUES, COERCIVE AND NON-COERCI VE. WHILE WE SS

P £PLOrf?£.

THE USE OF COERCIVE TECHNIQUES, WE DO WANT.

TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THEM AND-THEWT^QPEfTH^A^P-TS^USE

THEM.

E. PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE CONDUCTED, CONSIDERABLE
RESEARCH IN MANY AREAS THAT ARE CLOSELY RELATED .TO
COERCIVE “QUESTIONING". DURING THIS COURSE WE yiLL
DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING TOPICS AS THEY RELATE TO
"QUESTIONING":

1 ■ REACTIONS. TO PAIN AND FEAR.

2. THE EFFECTS OF DEBILITY AND ISOLATION.

3 *

HYPNOSIS AND NARCOSIS

keep in mind '"turn around" here!
F. WHAT WE ARE EMPHASIZING THROUGHOUT THIS COURSE IS
THAT "QUESTIONING* IS A COMPLICATED PROCESS INVOLVING
THE INTERACTION OF TWO PERSONALITIES - THAT ‘ OF THE
QUESTIONER AND THAT OF THE SUBJECT- IT MUST BE WELL •
PLANNED - FROM THE TIME THE SUBJECT IS ARRESTED
THROUGH THE QUESTIONING PROCESS TO THE FINAL
DISPOSITION OF THE SUBJECT.

II. ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS . •

A. SCHEDULE AND. HOURS

1. TWO 'WEEKS OF LECTURES. IN THE CLASSROOM

2. ONE OR TWO WEEKS OF PRACTICAL WQRK WITH
PRISONERS, AT WHICH TIME THE CLASS WILL BE
DIVIDED INTO 3 OR 4 MAN TEAMS.

D. USE OF VIDEO CAMERA

PRACTICAL EXCERCISES. THE VIDEO NOT ONLY ALLOWS
YOU TO REVIEW YOUR QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES BUT
ALSO TO STUDY THE REACTIONS OF THE SUBJECTS
DURING THE QUESTIONING.

III. DEFINITIONS

TcTlNSURE THAT WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE TERMS WHICH WE
WILL BE USING THROUGHOUT THE COURSE HERE ARE A FEW
DEFINITIONS:

A. INFORMATION - RAW DATA WHICH IS OBTAINED FROM A
VARIETY OF SOURCES: RUMORS, INFORMANTS. PRISONERS,

ETC. IT MAY BE ACCURATE OR INACCURATE.

H * ELICITATION - OBTAINING INFORMATION WITHOUT

QUESTIONER, THROUGH A VERBAL. OR WRITTEN EXCHANGE WITH
A SUBJECT WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE WILLING TO PROVIDE IT
IF HE KNEW THE TRUE PURPOSE. ' • ' '

l ' CONTROL - THE CAPACITY TO CAUSE OR CHANGE CERTAIN-
TYPES OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR BY IMPLYING OR USING PHYSICAL
OR PSYCHOLOGICAL MEANS TO INDUCE COMPLIANCE.

COMPLIANCE MAY BE VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

CONTROL CAN RARELY BE ESTABLISHED WITHOUT CONTROL OF
THE ENVIRONMENT. BY CONTROLLING THE SUBJECT'S
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL HIS
PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE OF MIND.

VARIOUS -CUSTOMER AGENCIES FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION OR
FOR SPOTTING OF POTENTIAL ASSETS.

K. SUBJECT - A PERSON

INTENTIONS OF GOOD FAITH.

sc:reen ing - THE preliminary interviewing of a

SUBJECT TO obtain BIOGRAPHIC AND OTHER BACKGROUND
INFORMATION.

8. COLLECTION

thisTs'where -questioning- fits into the cycle.

COLLECTION ALSO INCLUDES OTHER SOURCES SUCH AS:
RESEARCH, BOOKS AND MAGAZINES, PICTURES,

NEWSPAPERS, ETC. COLLECTION ONLY PRODUCES
INFORMATION, NOT INTELLIGENCE.

C. PROCESSING

IN ORDER TO BE PROCESSED, THE INFORMATION MUST BE
ACCURATELY RECORDED. THEN IT MUST BE EVALUATED
AS TO ITS RELEVANCE TO THE REQUIREMENTS AND THE
RELIABILITY OF THE SOURCE. LASTLY IT MUST BE
ANALYZED TO DETERMINE ITS SIGNIFICANCE WITH
RESPECT TO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC.

D. DISSEMINATION

THE - PR0CESSED INFORMATION IS NOW INTELLIGENCE AND
MUST BE DISSEMINATED IN A TIMELY MANER TO SOMEONE
WHO CAN ACT UPON IT. THE INTELLIGENCE REPORT .
WHICH IS DISSEMINATED WILL THEN GENERATE
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND THE
CYCLE BEGINS ALL OVER AGAIN.

N. ASSESSMENT - THE ANALYSIS OF THE PSYCHQLOG I CAL
AND 8 1 QGRAFH I CAL DATA ABOUT A SUBJECT FOR THE PURPOSE
--OF MAKING AN APPRAISAL. THE SPECIFIC TECHNIQUES WHICH
WILL BE USED DURING THE "QUESTIONING" WILL DEPEND UPON
THE ASSESSMENT.

IV. THE CYCLE OF INTELLIGENCE

THE INTELLIGENCE CYCLE CONSISTS OF FOUR PHASES AND CAN
BE REPRESENTED AS A CIRCLE BECAUSE IT HAS NO BEGINNING

OR END.

A. REQUIREMENTS

THE DEMAND FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF INFORMATION
ESTABLISHES PURPOSE AND DIRECTION FOR CONDUCTING
THE "QUESTIONING". THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF
REQUIREMENTS:

1. STANDING REQUIREMENTS - e.g. INFORMATION
CONCERNING THREATS AGAI.NST GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS,
SUBVERSIVE GROUPS, TERRORIST ACTIONS, ARMED
ATTACK.

2. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS - e.g. INFORMATION
CONCERNING A TOPIC ABOUT WHICH A SUBJECT HAS
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE, SUCH AS SCIENTIFIC OR
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE.
