The American officials now say still-secret parts of the separate report by the Senate Intelligence Committee, which was released in early July, discuss the information provided by Mr. Libi in much greater detail. The Senate report questions whether some versions of intelligence reports prepared by the C.I.A. in late 2002 and early 2003 raised sufficient questions about the reliability of Mr. Libi's claims.

Mystery resolved: it is highly likely that Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi was the subject of the redacted portion of the Senate report blogged here earlier this month. That is, Libi is the "third man" along with KSM and Abu Zubaydah.
