Washpo, so use your own guidelines to judge it:

The CIA’s Questioning Worked

I am guessing we will not know about some of the things that interrogations produced for a while too.

Not particularly compelling. The details, such as they are, aren’t particularly…detailed. And there doesn’t seem to be anything in the way of corroboration. At best, the claims made here seem to be egregiously incestuous, with nothing in the way of independent confirmation.

That’s why I asked for details documenting what was actually prevented. Simply stating that someone made a claim of an impending attack while being tortured isn’t, itself, particularly compelling.
