New Interrogation Unit to Question Foreign Prisoners
----------------------------------------------------



The Obama administration meanwhile has created a new team of
interrogators to question foreign suspects outside of the CIA. The
High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, or HIG, will be operated out of
the FBI and overseen by the National Security Council. An administration
official told the Washington Post the CIA will continue to play “a very
important role” in prisoner interrogations.
