The bullet points in this section are either not related to Zubaydah's interrogations (first two - #1 is footnote to #2) or I couldn't find in the report text (the rest).
Zubaydah's interrogations are cited frequently in the 9/11 Commission Report, although he is the sole person to make many of the claims. citation needed Human Rights Watch noted that "The 9/11 Commission report refers to the intelligence reports of seven interrogation sessions with Zubayda, dating from February 2002 to April 2004."

The interrogation tapes section is largely outside the scope of this article, which has a See also for the main article about the tapes' destruction. Here is what used to be in the section:
Several requests for the videotapes were made by judges, government organizations, and non-governmental organizations. The ACLU requested copies of the tapes under a Freedom of Information Act, but was rebuffed by the CIA. [1] The ACLU would later file legal action against the CIA wherein New York District Court Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein stated he was “disappointed” the agency destroyed the tapes and believes the court was “gulled.” [2] The CIA also denied the existence of the tapes to the 9/11 Commission Report during its investigation. [3] [4] In November 2005, during a pending Guantanamo case, U.S. District Court Judges Gladys Kessler, Richard W. Roberts, and Henry H. Kennedy ordered the preservation of the CIA’s interrogation tapes as evidence for the cases before it. [5] In addition, the Judge presiding over Zacarias Moussaoui’s criminal case, Leonie M. Brinkema, had also requested the tapes only to be told they did not exist. [6] The CIA was advised by top lawyers at the White House and the Justice Department not to destroy the interrogation tapes. [7] Michael Hayden, the Director of Central Intelligence, sent a letter to CIA staff, briefing them on the tape's destruction. [8] Hayden asserted that key members of Congress had been briefed on the existence of the tapes, and the plans for their destruction. [8] United States Senator Jay Rockefeller, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, disputed Hayden's assertion, saying that he only learned of the tapes in 2006, a year after their destruction. [3] Jane Harman, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, who was one of just four senior members of Congress who was briefed on the existence of the tapes, acknowledged being briefed. [9] Harman responded to Hayden's assertions by stating she had objected, in writing, to the tapes' destruction, and that it would "put the CIA under a cloud of suspicion." [10] [11] However, the CIA did not comply with any of the advice or the 17 orders from various judges and courts and destroyed the tapes. [6] [9] [12] The Department of Justice is now investigating the CIA’s destruction of the tapes [7] and has appointed John Durham as the special prosecutor for the case. [13]
Originally, the CIA claimed that only two videotapes and one audiotape had been destroyed. [14] In all, however, the CIA destroyed 92 tapes of interrogations, of which 90 were of Abu Zubaydah, and 12 depicted his waterboarding. [15] [16] [17] The tapes were held in a safe in the CIA's secret prison in Thailand. [16] [18]
