Regarding the "impersonation", I'm still not sure what our issue is here. It's fairly clear to me that the "FBI Agent" wasn't successful in gaining the detainees cooperation. Thereafter, (months later) carried the day with his ruse...(Once again, this technique, and all of those used in these scenarios, was approved by the Dep Sec Def Additionally, the techniques specifically called into question in the EC were employed months after, and in a different environment from, the "FBI Agent" ruse.

If others here were aware, afraid that institutional knowledge was lost as our SFOR/KFOR AOs have PCS'd or retired over the last 4-5 years. Second, such training would not have had bearing on the incidents under investigation with OIF.
