I've actually redacted this story to fit in our war against BH- something to_Learn

Now, when the British captured senior German officers during WW2, they didn't put them in a prison camp. Instead they took them to a beautiful country mansion, and plied them with magnificent meals and drink, and allowed them to listen to German radio and read newspapers to keep up to date on the war. Each had his own room and a batman, and were treated like senior officers in the British Army.
Of course, the officers had much to talk about to each other, but unknown to them, the Brits had wired the entire mansion and had a team of intelligence officers working in the basement.....Are you with me?

The intelligence they got was far more effective than pulling finger nails. They learnt a huge amount about the relationships between senior commanders and with Hitler. They also learnt a lot about German military strategy and tactics ... From the top.
Now that's intelligence.

In essence, this is something our Military men out there fighting Boko haram needs to learn from.

There is a difference between a fanatical terrorist and a professional soldier.

A soldier fighting is merely doing his job and may not even like the President or Hitler in your example. A fanatic is a morbid mindset. He wants everyone to die and thus why the commit suicide bombing etc.

A fanatic will never give you useful info in order to stop the war. Unlike a soldier that may decide to cooperate and allow you win so that the war will come to an end.

CIA has a reason for keeping fanatics captured in battlefields away from the real soldiers.Treating Boko haram terrorists as if they were captured British or German soldiers is a complete waste of time. Terrorists don't care to obey the rules of war or Geneva convention.
