World War II Interrogators Criticize U.S. Interrogation Practices

HeadlineOct 08, 2007

Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports a group of World War II interrogators gathered on Friday at Fort Hunt and criticized the Bush administration’s interrogation practices. Ninety-year-old Henry Kolm said: “We got more information out of a German general with a game of chess or ping pong than they do today, with their torture.” One of the World War II veterans refused to accept honors from the Army’s Freedom Team Salute, citing his opposition to what has happened at Guantánamo and in Iraq.
