The questioning of hundreds of Iraqi prisoners last fall in the newly established interrogation center at Abu Ghraib prison yielded very little valuable intelligence, according to civilian and military officials.
we have found a number of instances of coverage that was not as rigorous as it should have been.

Looking back, we wish we had been more aggressive in re-examining the claims as new evidence emerged — or failed to emerge.
