Par volonté de découvrir les têtes d'al-qaida, les tortures sans conséquences physiques durables ont été approuvées par Bush à propos du suspect Zubaydah:
I took a look at the list of techniques. There were two that I felt went too far, even if they were legal. I directed the CIA not to use them. Another technique was waterboarding, a process of simulated drowning. No doubt the procedure was tough, but medical experts assured the CIA that it did no lasting harm.
