Klingons Again Reliant on Liaison for Interrogations
2015-03-22
[SOFREP] During his recent speech and accompanying question and answer session at the Council on Foreign Relations, CIA Director John Brennan made a seemingly rare public admission regarding the way the agency handles detentions and interrogations of terrorism suspects. Brennan stated the CIA had overcome the recent termination of its enhanced interrogation program by returning to the agency's historic reliance on foreign liaison partners for the capture and interrogation of members of terrorist organizations.

In an exchange with Fox News' Megan Kelly, in the waning minutes of his hour-plus-long visit to the CFR, Kelly asked Brennan if the United States was "still capturing terrorists, and if so, where do we keep them?" The Fox News host also asked Brennan, "how are we interrogating them?"
A total reliance on so-called 'foreign partners' is a clear admission of intelligence community failure. If you do not control the detainee or source, you do not control the reporting. You get what the 'foreign partner' wants you to get.

#3  Well, it can't be Egypt; and it can't be Yemen; or Libya; or Syria---so, who could these partners be?
