Abu Zubaydah

U.S. government officials have blocked the release of 116 pages of defence lawyers' notes detailing the torture that Guantanamo Bay detainee Abu Zubaydah says he experienced in CIA custody, defence lawyers said on Thursday.

In a new book, a retired senior CIA officer who ordered the destruction of interrogation videos says he was tired of waiting for Washington's bureaucracy to make a decision that protected American lives.
