I'm not sure how "obtaining" a person under "controlled conditions" squares us with human rights :P. It would have to be a language some percentage of current officers would understand (e.g. Turkish is Right Out by CFJ 1460 or I'd have a candidate or two). But a person whom one of us knows, without enough English to be called "understanding", but willing to post in eir language to prove e understands what e's doing (CFJ 1856)? Tricky. ps. the phrase "is a player" shows up in 22 separate CFJ statements. Can anyone find a three-word phrase that does better? -Goethe
