After 2.5 hours of questioning they get a 15 minute break. Please supply coffee and donuts. Check for peanut allergies before offering donuts!
After 4 hours of questioning they get 1/2 hour for lunch. Play soft music, offer a 3 course meal that excludes pork.
Do not shout or raise your voice to the point were it may cause emotional pain or torment.
Etc.

I know you're amusing yourself with the idea of treating fellow human beings with respect and civility. I submit that demonstrating to these people that America isn't the evil oppressor they believe it to be MIGHT actually be more effective than other approaches.
These are human beings. Human beings respond to kindness one way, and cruelty another way. Let me put it like this: the people who did 9/11 didn't do it because they believe we're so kind to them. A beaten dog will eventually bite.
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate, and Hate leads to suffering. No wonder Darth Cheney is so gung-ho for torture.
