The headline doesn't really match the conclusion. While the interrogations added and corrected information, in the run up to the Iraq war of 2003 the CIA analysis was dismissed and a tiny subset cherry picked to create a pretense for war. It is the nature of intelligence that you will collect a large body of information, and some of it will be false.
