That is the statement on which I am still waiting for a citation. Please, take your time to find one of those other sources.

UT...the reports I had read referred to the fact that the members of the Jemaah Islamiyah (the so-called Indonesian wing of al queda) who were reportedly recruited for the "second wave" against Los Angeles were captured in 2002 as a result of other intel (even before KSM was waterboarded).
But I cant find the report that I read...so I'll take an F on this one.
The larger point I was trying to make was that there is nothing to suggest that legal interrogation would not have accomplished the same or better results as noted by the former interrogator (and others) in the article I posted above.
