Editing Abu Zubaydah (section)

== Intelligence obtained from Zubaydah and its after effects ==
Zubaydah's capture was touted as the biggest of the War on Terror until that of [[Khalid Sheikh Mohammed]].<ref>[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alleged-9-11-mastermind-nabbed/ "Alleged 9-11 Mastermind Nabbed"]  CBS News, March 1, 2003</ref> The director of the FBI stated Zubaydah's capture would help deter future attacks.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/04/nyregion/news-summary-384283.html "News Summary: Arrest May Deter Attacks"].

In a speech in 2006, Bush claimed that Zubaydah revealed useful intelligence when enhanced interrogation was used, including identification of two important suspects and information that allegedly helped foil a terrorist attack on American soil.<ref name="Bush 2006" /> These claims directly conflict with the reports of the FBI agents who first interrogated Zubaydah. He gave them the names before torture was used, and the third piece of information came from other sources who had been receiving crucial pieces of information from him without the use of harsher techniques,<ref name="Soufan 2009" /><ref name="Isikoff 2009" /> as well as other government officials.<ref name="Finn 2009" />
