From Pres. Bush’s speech:
We knew that Zubaydah had more information that could save innocent lives, but he stopped talking. As his questioning proceeded, it became clear that he had received training on how to resist interrogation. And so the CIA used an alternative set of procedures.
Do tell. Andrew Sullivan drives several trucks through the holes in Bush’s speech, with the help of the indefatigable Marty Lederman.
P.S. — Jane Mayer’s article on the careful cultivation of Qaeda informants, in the Sept. 11 ’06 issue of the New Yorker, is a must-read in this respect.
