Quote, "Even President Obama’s new director of national intelligence, Dennis C. Blair, wrote in a memorandum to his staff last week that “high value information came from interrogations in which these methods were used,” an assertion left out when the memorandum was edited for public release. By contrast, Mr. Obama and most of his top aides have argued that the use of those methods betrayed American values — and anyway, produced unreliable information. Those are a convenient pair of opinions, of course: the moral balancing would be far trickier if the C.I.A. methods were demonstrated to have been crucial in disrupting major plots."

Too bad the bastard survived.
Whatever that 'high value information' might be and how many major plots its has disrupted, it didn't incriminate Zubaydah (in GTB since 2002) because he hasn't been charged yet, despite the 83 'waterboarding' sessions (and God knows what else).
