Hey 120 !

It is pretty easy to transition from "core belief" issues to tactical information.
My background is different, but then somewhat similar with intel. I would however argue that such a transition would be arduously slow and drive one or the other crazy (then comes torture ).

We also deal with enormous amounts of info (to include quasi interviews..a tad more friendly environment...over dinner ) and then decide if we were going anywhere. That said, without sufficient knowledge of customs, cultures, etc., all the info in the world may not be enough to draw a conclusion.

Perhaps I should have learned Interrogation.

Regards, Stan
