Abu Zubaydah was wounded and rounded up in Afghanistan. He was cited as a high official in Al Qaeda and in Gerald Posner's book "Why America Slept", gave evidence of connections between the terrorist organization and members of the Saudi royal family and intelligence. link: http://www.time.com/...

However, in Ron Suskind's new book, "The One Percent Doctrine", the claim is made that, "Abu Zubaydah, his captors discovered, turned out to be mentally ill and nothing like the pivotal figure they supposed him to be. CIA and FBI analysts, poring over a diary he kept for more than a decade, found entries "in the voice of three people: Hani 1, Hani 2, and Hani 3" -- a boy, a young man and a middle-aged alter ego. All three recorded in numbing detail "what people ate, or wore, or trifling things they said." Dan Coleman, then the FBI's top al-Qaeda analyst, told a senior bureau official, "This guy is insane, certifiable, split personality.""http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
