the publication seems to be called FM 34-52 INTELLIGENCE INTERROGATION and I assume the date shown is the latest revision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.50.121 (talk • contribs)

When I started the article I linked to two versions of the manual. I wasn't sure if the most recent of the two was the most recent version. Some months later I asked an expert of military law, during a Washington Post online forum, and they said that the most recent version was the most recent version, but a new version was going to be released shortly. -- Geo Swan 17:19, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I changed the opening sentence from "...sometimes known sometimes known by the code FM 34-52" to "...sometimes known by the military nomenclature.." FM 34-52 isn't any sort of code at all, as I am sure everyone knows, but instead simply an abbreviation of Field Manual 34-52. It gives the reader the impression that this is supposed to be a secret manual or something. TattooedPhreak 13:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

NEW FIELD MANUAL

FYI, the current field manual being utilized and the one the DTA of 2005 mentions is titled: FM 2-22.3, Human Intelligence Collection Operations (UpDated SEP 2006). This FM is binding to DOD interrogators and the "bible" for the conduct of legal and ethical interrogations. I will not modify the main article because I am not well versed in the wikipedia writing style of the day. The FM listed in this page is obsolete. Jerry.mills (talk) 06:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
