To many U.S. officials, it seemed like a perfect job for the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG) — an interagency team formed by the Obama administration after a wrenching national debate over Bush-era torture practices and charged with developing humane interrogation methods based on academic research.
But the Trump administration never deployed the elite team to question the American captured in Syria, according to two sources with knowledge of the group’s deployments. The group’s exclusion rattled those who work for it, who fear its days could be numbered under a president who has openly endorsed the torture of terror suspects. In the last week alone, two members of the group’s critical research arm announced their departure, and warned colleagues the organization was in danger.
“We run the risk of losing this innovative and important instrument of national power,” said Bobby Chesney, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin who has advised the U.S. government on detainee policy. “It’s such an obviously good idea. But it also treads on the turf of several agencies. What’s likely to happen if it doesn’t have strong institutional support? It will lose budget and personnel, and no one will push back.”
Sources involved or familiar with the organization who spoke to POLITICO warned that its absence in the case of the American captured in Syria is just the latest sign, dating back to the late Obama era, that the HIG has struggled to win support throughout the turf-conscious U.S. law enforcement and intelligence establishments.

How did Obama green light Irans Nuclear program?How much less safe did Obama make the world picking Iran off the deck and pumping them up with cash and a green light on their Nuclear program? There are none so blind as Liberals who will not see.

gipper i dont care if even you was president at that time,9/11 would have still happened....sometimes the bad guys get a shot in,fact of life,deal with it...Let's see...we have the largest military, by a country mile. Yet on 9/11 a bunch of kooky Saudis managed to hijack jetliners and murder thousands of Americans, but where was our HUGE wonderful military? No where to be found.
It would seem keeping Americans safe is not a priority. Growing the power and wealth of the central government is.
