WASHINGTON - Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, confessed to that attack and a string of others during a military hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to a transcript released Wednesday by the
Mohammed claimed responsibility for planning, financing, and training others for bombings ranging from the 1993 attack at the World Trade Center to the attempt by would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes.
In all, Mohammed said he was responsible for planning 29 individual attacks, including many that were never executed. The comments were included in a 26-page transcript released by the Pentagon, which also blacked out some of his remarks.
=======================================
So the Pentagon holds a trial of this fellow that’s closed to the public and we’re supposed to believe their version of what he said? Excuse me. When you’re being tortured, you’ll say ANYTHING to stop the pain. And which of its lies and crimes over the past six years is supposed to convince us that we can believe the Pentagon?
