Larry James, whose team of psychologists assists interrogators, said he does not want to know where Camp 7 is. ``I learned a long, long time ago, if I'm going to be successful in the intel community, I'm meticulously - in a very, very dedicated way - going to stay in my lane,'' he said. ``So if I don't have a specific need to know about something, I don't want to know about it. I don't ask about it.'' That answer, I believe, says everything that needs to be said about Col. Larry James’s professional qualifications and ethics.
