You must have not read very closely.
The article clearly states that the US did get valuable information from Abu Zubaida ...using conventional methods and before he was ever tortured... and that the methods later which would be considered torture didn't reveal any useful information.

If the article isn't true, I guess that would make the whole passage from the Counterterrorism official inaccurate as well, and no useful information was ever provided by Abu Zubaida. |

Those that need to know and have to know, know what's true.
And I am glad that they are very good at their job |

If no one knows, then maybe they do a terrible job. But you wouldn't know that because only the ones that need to know, know that. |
