And here's what may muddy the waters...
Torturing Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Worked
http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/2005/12/torturing_khalid_shaikh_mohammed_worked/
Consider Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the 39-year-old
former Al Qaeda operative who was the Sept. 11
mastermind and bearer of many Al Qaeda secrets. If
anyone had a motive for remaining silent, it was
the man known to terrorism investigators as “KSM.”
But not long after his capture in Pakistan, in
March 2003, KSM began to talk. He ultimately had
so much to say that more than 100 footnoted
references to the CIA’s interrogations of KSM are
contained in the final report of the commission
that investigated Sept. 11. Not that everything
KSM said was believable. But much of his
information checked out in separate questioning of
other captured Al Qaeda figures.
