| This article is not maintainable in its present form, has not been updated, is incorrect even in out-of-date descriptions. There is no document called "United States Army Field Manual on interrogation". As an expert in the field, I have never seen such a title, past or present. The thrust of this article is about Bush Administration policymakers that referred, incorrectly, to such a manual. There can be articles about interrogation policy, and there can be articles about the actual manuals. For a more detailed and accurate coverage of the subject, see Human-source intelligence. This is an Editor Instruction under CZ:Article Deletion Policy, citing "the article is of such low quality (in terms of inaccuracy, bias, poor writing, or whatever) that it would be more efficient to start over than to try to clean up the current one (this also can be achieved by blanking, if one does in fact wish to start over); " |
