Bush Unarmed

The WaPo profiles the soldiers of Fort Hunt -- the men charged with interrogating Nazi POWs.

Interesting in its own right for the soldiers' recounting of their interrogation techniques (which included playing chess and buying the prisoner a steak dinner), the article also provides a clear explanation of why this administration has had to resort to...other measures. For, as WWII veteran George Frenkel notes, their strategy involved engaging prisoners in a "battle of the wits."
