Any suggestion? Is it realistic (has it been done before) to ask soldiers to lay down their weapons or clear them before speaking to the G-chief? Is it realistic to ask them for the weapons in their hand in exchange for information? Can soldiers solicit information from press field correspondent?

FF,
Yes to all of your questions; be careful how you define 'solicit' out there. In a nutshell, behave like a cloned combination of Chavez, Putin, Ahmadinejahd, Maliki, and Obama. Always get something before giving away anything. Make them feed you good food and talk to them about anything--the weather, the sudden worrisome limp in your prize breeding camel, your wife's needing a botox injection, the history of your 'great' land, whatever--but the subject they want to talk about. Make them 'work' for any information or concession you give them and make everything sound like it's a big deal whether it is or not. Keep smiling and nodding, don't pay any attention to time...and have fun.
