Lack of Intelligence

I don't know if this guy is telling the truth or not, and I am sure he hassome terrorist ties, but that isn't what this post is about. It's about our intelligence,or lack thereof.

"DetaineeDenies Allegiance to bin Laden" -  In September 2006, advocating legislation for a Guantánamo war court,President Bush described Abu Zubaydah as ''a senior terrorist leader and atrusted associate of Osama bin Laden'' who survived wounds suffered duringhis capture because of CIA-orchestrated medical treatment.

He resisted interrogations, Bush said -- until the CIA employed ''analternative set of procedures'' and he spilled a series of al Qaeda plots.

If "an alternative set of procedures" gets information, how do youknow its the truth? It seems to me that throughout history people have"spilled their beans" because something "bad" was happening orabout to happen to them.

I don't have any answers to securing factual information from the enemy or a suspectedenemy, but somebody in the government better come up with some answers becauseour nations intelligence has a low IQ.
