- | The question is, "How do you treat the prisoners? | 0:00 |
How do you treat them, | 0:03 | |
not only in interrogation, | 0:05 | |
but in their cells and so forth." | 0:06 | |
I became a huge believer in the FBI's | 0:10 | |
modus operandi in trying to build rapport | 0:16 | |
with people you're trying to get information from. | 0:20 | |
And I would | 0:23 | |
structure it, | 0:26 | |
I would structure the treatment itself | 0:27 | |
to include the interrogations | 0:30 | |
but also how you treat them in their cells | 0:32 | |
and how you move them from one place to another | 0:35 | |
in accordance with basic FBI procedures | 0:37 | |
which are designed to gain rapport. | 0:40 | |
And I can give you an example. | 0:43 | |
When Padilla, and they had pronounced it Padilla not Padeea, | 0:45 | |
when he was taken by the military, | 0:50 | |
the military refused to let the FBI | 0:53 | |
interrogate him for about six months. | 0:59 | |
And then one day, a young man walked into my office | 1:02 | |
and said he had been given permission, finally. | 1:06 | |
to go interrogate Padilla. | 1:08 | |
He said, "Mr. Bowman, I just wanna know if this is okay." | 1:10 | |
He said, "I wanna go down there | 1:13 | |
and it's just gonna be me and him, nobody else. | 1:15 | |
And I wanna question him as long as I possibly can." | 1:17 | |
He says, "And if I'm up, he's up. | 1:20 | |
And if I go to bed, he gets to go to bed. | 1:23 | |
Is there any problem with my keeping him up | 1:25 | |
for long periods of time?" | 1:28 | |
I said, "No, there's no problem with that at all." | 1:29 | |
So, he went down to South Carolina | 1:31 | |
and started interrogating at eight o'clock in the morning, | 1:33 | |
and by noon Padilla was talking to him. | 1:36 | |
That's the difference. | 1:39 | |
Interviewer | Are you saying Padilla wasn't trying to | 1:42 |
to any of the (speaker drowns out interviewer) | 1:44 | |
- | (garbled) That's right. | 1:45 |
They said you can talk to him, | 1:46 | |
but you're not gonna get anything out of him. | 1:48 |
