According to a declassified CIA report on July 14, 2004, captured 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed “had become key in the U.S. government’s understanding of al Qaeda plots and personalities: ‘Debriefings since his detention have yielded…reports that have shed light on the plots, capabilities, the identity and location of al-Qa’ida operatives and affiliated terrorist organizations and networks. He has provided information on al-Qa’ida’s strategic doctrine, probable targets, the impact of striking each target set, and likely methods of attacks inside the United States.’ ”
