New Scientist interview with The Enforcer

New Scientist has an interesting interview with Michael Koubi, the former chief interrogator for Israel's Shin Bet. Arbitrary excerpt:

Q: Did you ever have a detainee you couldn't break?

A: It has happened, but very seldom. I could count them on one hand.

Q: Why were they so difficult?

A: They were very primitive people, not literate and not well educated.

Q: Why does that make it harder?

A: Because I cannot use some of my systems. For example, I cannot show him written papers because he does not know how to read or write. They behave differently. I cannot speak about it. I cannot teach you all my tricks.
