Faisal Shahzad is arraigned after he said he no longer wished to speak with interrogators, who included members of a group established to replace a controversial CIA program.
The Pakistani American accused of trying to bomb Times Square has been questioned with the help of a new interrogation unit that replaced a controversial CIA program dismantled by President Obama, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, appeared in court for the first time Tuesday, two weeks after his May 3 arrest. Wearing gray pants and a gray shirt, he was formally advised of the five felony charges against him, including the attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. In all, he was told, he faces a maximum punishment of two life sentences plus 60 years.

Update: Obama Starts Deploying Interrogation Teams -- New York Times/Reuters
My Comment: There is little if any information on the effectiveness of this unit. My take .... if it was we would be hearing from the administration (non-stop) on how great it is.
