The document provides a response to an article that recommended themes for interrogating jihadist combatants. It summarizes that the original article conflated law enforcement questioning with intelligence interrogation, and that following its recommendations could lead soldiers to break laws. Only specifically trained and certified personnel are allowed to conduct interrogations according to U.S. law and Department of Defense policy. The document recommends distinguishing law enforcement questioning from intelligence interrogation to avoid confusion, and leveraging trained intelligence interrogators rather than having non-certified soldiers conduct interrogations.
