A note from Waynepeace supporter Sandy McFall:
[I just found out about] a book that came out recently written by Matthew Alexander (not his real name) who had to sue the government in order to publish the book. This may be why it has a misleading title – “How to Break a Terrorist” – and gives an alias author’s name. He was one of the interrogators in Iraq and he used humane methods to gain information from prisoners. He learned their culture and jokes, etc. and used this to build their trust. He was much more successful (especially with the Sunnis) than those who used the harsh torturing. … Here’s an article about it:

Thanks, Sandy!
