Torture is an ugly word. I prefer to call it "collecting first-rate intelligence."

Other notes
Errors in "Interrogator"
The binder Interrogator gives Stall has the title "Geneva Convention," when the actual treaties are known as the "Geneva Conventions" - plural.
Items of note in "Interrogator"
Interrogator's face is never shown, even on the cover.
This is the first time Cobra Commander and Destro have ever been together. Clearly this story takes place after events currently happening in the main title.
Real-world references in "Interrogator"
The Geneva Convention is a series of treaties laying out the way victims of war are to be treated by their enemies.
G.I. Joe references in "Interrogator"
The name "Thomas C. Stall" (note the middle initial) was used for the Spy Troops character Blackout. Since he was a Joe who ended up betraying the team, this issue's "Thomas J. Stall" may well be the IDW incarnation of the same character.
Interrogator promises to release footage of Stall being "a real American hero."
At the bottom of the ocean, there's no shortage of ways to die.

Items of note in "Deep Six"
The original image of Antonio Fuso's "Cover B" released to promote this issue showed a character who looked like Torpedo. The art was entirely redrawn for the published cover.
The suits worn by the Cobra divers look like a cross between Eel uniforms and S.N.A.K.E. armor.
Only five characters, total, appear in this story: Deep Six and four Cobras.
