...committee could detect no rigid pattern of Communist interrogation, and was often impressed by the inconsistencies of the Communist enemy. "Sometimes he showed contempt for the man who readily submitted to bullying. The prisoner who stood up to the bluster, threats and blows . . . might be dismissed with a shrug ..." Some of the P.W.s who appeased the Communists by giving them "biographical sketches" later found that the Communists used the documents against them, punishing them for "lying"; many of those who signed confessions were later informed that they were liable for new prosecution as war criminals...
