AIG, for example, is now getting $150 billion of our money. But it would actually be nice to know, specifically, why that's the case - and yes, please, bore me with details. Lots and lots of them.

Highlight Reel:1. On the new interrogation tactics he was trained to utilize: "The quickest way to get most (but not all) captives talking is to be nice to them. But what does it mean to be "nice" to a subject under interrogation? ... It means, ideally, getting to know the subject better than he knows himself and then manipulating him by role-playing, flattering, misleading, and nudging his or her perception of the truth slightly off center. The goal is to turn the subject around so that he begins to see strong logic and even wisdom in acting against...
