@davew Alternative rule: put those enhanced interview techniques the CIA spent way too much money at the cost of way too many human beings into practice and treat the interview as if it were an interrogation. Think of yourself not as a journalist, but an inquisitor sent by the Powers That Be to extract information from the interviewee, no matter the cost, for a nebulously-defined ‘greater good’—in this case, ‘the preservation of democracy’, whatever that entails.
