Pentagon: Guantanamo Inmates Yield 'Valuable' Data

Interrogations of inmates at Guantanamo Bay have yielded "valuable insights" into the al Qaeda network, including its quest for powerful weapons, a Pentagon document stated, but rights activists on Monday called the document self-serving and untrustworthy.
The Pentagon released an unclassified summary of more than 4,000 interrogation reports from the prison for foreign terrorism suspects at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Detainees have given information to interrogators on people involved in al Qaeda's pursuit of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, it stated, but provided scant detail.
