"Mastermind" behind major terrorist attacks

glu · Post by **glu** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 5:41 am

Is this for real? So- this guy is behind 9/11, prior attack to WTC 1993, Bali club bombing, and others- or was he tortured to just agree to "admit" to these major attacks?

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, admitted to those attacks and numerous others during a U.S. military hearing on Saturday, according to an edited transcript of the hearing released by the Pentagon Wednesday.

In a statement from him, read by a U.S. military representative, he said, "I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z."

Yeah, I was waiting for this...
Its about as transparent as air.

Either this or they'll dig Osama out of some hole just before the primary.
Haliburton just moved to Dubai, maybe its a terrorist exchange program

did you see that thing on ABC (Australian Broadcasting comission - our version of BBC for you internationals) about the Al Jazeera camera man who has been locked in Guantanemo for 5 years just because his passport got stolen or lost in SUdan a few years earlier and somehow turned up on the pakistani wanted list

that there is why they need fair trials

I wouldn't doubt it. An exerpt from the slate article on the subject notes:

Mohammed's admission is hardly a surprise. In its final report, the Sept. 11 commission discussed several interrogation reports where Mohammed allegedly took responsibility for the attacks. But this was the first time Mohammed faced any sort of legal proceeding and the first time he was able to make a long statement without interrogators. During the proceedings in Guantanamo, Mohammed said some of his previous statements were made as a result of torture.

.... now it's time to sit back and watch the neocons throw another big self-congradulatory party while the civil war in iraq carries on.

heh, I read the news this morning in the NY Times about this guy, and I had to swing over here to enjoy the reaction. I was not disappointed.

Yeah, this guy was apparently in charge of "foreign operations" for Al Q. Osama ran Al Q. Were you thinking one guy did everything?
