  8-83. Many people see debriefing as an interruption in their normal duties
  and a waste of their time. HUMINT collectors must be sure to stay focused on
  the purpose and goals of the debriefing. They should be businesslike and
  must maintain the proper relationship with the source based on his rank and
  position. The HUMINT collector should allow senior sources more latitude to
  interpose their opinions and evaluations. A change of scene often facilitates
  the debriefing of a high-level source since it removes him from his normal
  distractions, such as the telephone, and allows him to concentrate on the
  topics being discussed.
  8-84. Refugees and DPs are subject to many of the same anxieties and
  trauma that are experienced by EPWs or other detainees, with the added
  benefit to the HUMINT collector that they normally have an obvious vested
  interest in cooperating. Basic incentives usually are sufficient to induce their
  willing cooperation. The emotional support that can be provided by the
  HUMINT collector by simply listening and commiserating with their
  hardship is often sufficient to gain cooperation. The emotional approaches
  such as love of family and hate toward those who made them refugees are
  strong motivators toward cooperation.
  8-85. The approach techniques used in the questioning of local civilians are
  probably the most difficult. The approach techniques chosen must take into
  consideration the attitude of the local population toward the US and its
  presence and cultural considerations. The local population must see their
  cooperation as self-beneficial.
  APPROACH STRATEGIES FOR ELICITATION
  8-86. Elicitation is a sophisticated technique used when conventional
  collection techniques cannot be used effectively. Of all the collection methods,
  this one is the least obvious. However, it is important to note that elicitation
  is a planned, systematic process that requires careful preparation. It is
  always applied with a specific purpose in mind. This objective is the key
  factor in determining the subject (which source to question), the elicitor, and
  the setting. The subject will be selected based on access to or knowledge of
  the desired information.
  8-87. Before approaching the subject, it is necessary to review all available
  intelligence files and records, personality dossiers, and knowledge possessed
  by others who have previously dealt with the subject. This will help
  determine the subject’s background, motivation, emotions, and psychological
  nature. It also may require unobtrusive observation of the subject to
  establish such things as patterns of activity and likes and dislikes. The
  setting can be any number of social or official areas. It is important to note
  that the source should be approached in his natural surroundings, as this
  will diminish suspicion.
  8-88. The key to elicitation is the establishment of a rapport between the
  elicitor and the source, normally based on shared interests. In the initial
  stages of an elicitation, the collector confines his conversations to innocuous
  subjects such as sports and social commentary. Dependent on the value of the
  source, the collection environment, and the security consciousness of the
