#1 And them start taking him on a walking tour of the home - the quiet place, his fortress of solitude where everybody knows his name and remembers him has a great novelist, the young middle eastern Kafka, who tragically went insane in 1968. Let on that he's getting much better and that perhaps its time to get on with his life's work - the unfinished 3500 page novel The Mother of All Dreams.

#2 Fred, there was a retired AF Col on Britt Hume's show tonight. He speciallized in interrogation. I think his name was Stockport. He said that for Sadaam's type of personality the CIA would use expert psychologists for the inerrogation that would try to encourge him into furious railings to get teh names of the incompetent subordinants that had failed him He also said that the interrogators would have to do extensive research on Sadaam's life before the interogation because Sadaam is so egotistical that he would immediately refuse to talk to any interviewer that wasn't fluent in the most important subject of history - the life of Sadaam.

I wonder if the interrogators use a subtle form of hypnosis that I read about once that involves matching the actions of the subject. The interviewer synchronizes breathing, then synchronizes posture, gestures ect. Once everything is synched, the interviewer starts to steer the subject. It's an interesting concept simular to having a class only pay attention to a teacher when the teacher purforms a certin action.
