information with regard to the apprehension of two al Qaeda leaders. However, this information was already known according to the 9/11 Commission Report. Moreover, some of the information was revealed without the use of coercion. Bush also claimed that Abu Zubaydah identified another al Qaeda leader upon being subjected to the mentioned CIA treatment.
