Several news accounts, including one in the New York Times last week, have quoted former intelligence officials saying the harsh interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, a Qaeda operative who was waterboarded 83 times, did not produce information that foiled terror plots.


Notice how they walk back the cat without admitting that their previous coverage was politically slanted and drew obviously wrong conclusions. It was known last week, same as today, that Abu Zubaideh gave up the identity of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave up the second wave of Al Qaeda attacks, so there isn't a hole in the ground in LA to match the one in NY, and there aren't twelve airplanes that blew up at once over the sea.
