Abu Zubaydah: Waterboarded 83 Times for 10 Pieces of Intelligence
The torture apologists are out in force, insisting that torture produces useful information. Cheney’s even promising to release information from CIA cataloging all the useful information that came from torture. But we don’t have to wait for Cheney. We already have a way to assess how much intelligence we got directly from torturing Abu Zubaydah: the 9/11 Report. And the 9/11 Report tells us AZ only provided 10 useful piece of intelligence during his interrogations.
Did Cheney Order Up Abu Zubaydah’s 83rd Waterboarding?
When the CIA ordered up an extra session of waterboarding for Abu Zubaydah, did it do so on Cheney’s orders?
The Abu Zubaydah Experiment
The New Yorker has a piece with long excerpts from the leaked Red Cross report on American torture of high value detainees. The article sure makes it sound like the torture tapes were an attempt to document which torture methods worked and which did not. Which I guess explains why they had to be destroyed.

The US Government Owns Abu-Zubaida’s Thoughts
I just found an interesting article by Walter Pincus tucked away in the lower half of the website.
