This instruction has been successfully used by the CIA for 34 years. Most of the tips continue to be valid. I hope this knowledge is never useful to you. But it's still worth being aware of.
1. Setting
“The interrogation room should be free from any distractions. No pictures. Walls, floors and carpets are only in muted tones, ”advises the anonymous author. The most common table is preferable. On the other hand, if the chair and table of the interrogator are massive and expensive, it will inspire the interrogated that he is dealing with an important and influential person.
2. Chair for the interrogated
You can get by with the simplest wooden chair. However, if a person is brought from a cell deprived of any comforts, or before that they were forced to stand on their feet for a long time, sitting in a soft, comfortable chair, due to the contrast of previous sensations, will increase the disorientation of the interrogated.
3. The sign "Do not disturb!"
Make sure that during interrogation no one rushes into your office shouting: “We're ordering pizza! What do you need? "“ The sudden appearance of someone bystander, who has appeared on a trivial, mundane occasion, can have disastrous consequences for interrogation and completely negate its intimidating effect, ”notes the author of the manual.
4. Unpredictable schedule
“Your ward should begin to feel that you are in control of his entire routine of life,” the author writes. Therefore, interrogations should take place on a chaotic schedule. Today there are two interrogations, tomorrow not one and the day after tomorrow not one. And on the third day, you should be summoned for interrogation right during lunch or in the middle of the night. One interrogation can last five minutes and the other three hours.
5. Method "All-seeing eye"
The interrogator explains that he already knows everything, he just wants to make sure that the interrogated is completely honest with him. Therefore, for a start, questions are asked, the answers to which are already known. (“You have two arms, two legs and one nose, don't you?”) If a lie sounds in response (“The other leg is not mine, they threw it to me!”), The interrogator strictly points out that the information is unreliable. All of this should ultimately convince the subject of interrogation that denial is pointless.
6. "Double infusion" method
“Putting your person in a cell is too commonplace, and therefore completely ineffective,” the instruction assures. But launching two injections to a prisoner at once is a completely different matter. Substation # 1 tries to make friends with the interrogated, Substation # 2 is proudly silent. When the first injection is taken out of the cell for a while, the second warns the interrogated that it was an informer. Thus, the interrogated is imbued with confidence in the second informant. "This trust can be reinforced if the second infusion shows the subject the location where the eavesdropping device is supposedly hidden in the cell."
7. The Good Cop / Bad Cop method
"This procedure is nothing new," says the author of the manual, but notes that this method works best with "women, adolescents and timid men."
8. Bilingual approach
If the subject of the interrogation knows more than one language, it is advisable to start asking questions first in his second, non-native language. “If the person being interrogated has withstood a barrage of questions, for example, in German or Korean, you should suddenly switch to his native language and ask in Russian:“ Who is your operational officer of the residency? ”In some cases, the interrogated may answer faster than he realizes that he should not have done this,” the author of the instruction writes.
9. Method "I really know!"
At first, the interrogated is asked questions, the answers to which he cannot know for sure, since he is not in his organization at the level where access to such information is possible. The interrogated assures that he does not know anything, and so it is. Nevertheless, the interrogator “does not believe”, declaring that even the smallest fry should know such basic things. After such preparation, the interrogated is asked questions regarding information within his competence. Many let it slip.
The manual quotes the words of a person subjected to this method of interrogation: "It sounds strange, but then I was really grateful when, after all these difficult questions, they finally brought up a topic that I knew something about."
10. Placebo method
Subject is given a harmless vitamin and is then told it was a truth serum. If a person, consciously or even subconsciously, was going to tell about something, such a trick works and everything is blurted out.
11. Change of clothes
Clothing helps a person to be who he is. The manual advises as soon as possible to deprive the interrogated of his native clothes and give any other. Pre preferably not suitable in size. The belt should also be taken away so that he has to hold his pants with his hands.
12. Threats
“Promises to use torture and violence usually break resistance more effectively than direct use of force,” the manual says. Many people, the author explains further, are unaware that they are able to withstand intense pain, and are more afraid of it than they should.
But you should not threaten with death. This will only inspire the person being interrogated that his fate has already been decided and that they will get rid of him as soon as they receive all the necessary information.
This manual is an extract from a 128-page document that became public knowledge back in 1997.
