Bit

There's an interesting NYTimes editorial by Ali Soufan, an FBI interrogator who objected to the mistreatment of Zubaydah and was pulled out by the FBI. He claims that all useful information was gained using traditional means, not torture.

But what caught me was this little bit buried at the end.

It’s worth noting that when reading between the lines of the newly released memos, it seems clear that it was contractors, not C.I.A. officers, who requested the use of these techniques.

I think we need to hear more about that.
