Confession of '9/11 architect' backfires on US

'Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's dramatic confessions before a US military hearing are beginning to backfire on the Bush administration. Legal experts are casting serious doubt about their validity as evidence, and human rights activists say they only illuminate a "sham process" of justice in the US war on terror, including the apparent use of torture on Mohammed and potentially dozens of other al-Qa'ida suspects.'

I knew it! I said to my partner when they anounced this "confession" that this would all turn out to be very dubious. Alex Jones say's theyre scared because we're getting at the truth... so I think this is just a flailing attempt to wrap it all up in one. I wonder what totures they put him through and what he actually said, as I'm pretty sure he wasnt allowed a lawyer... doesnt that mean his testemony doesnt even count as a biast party where the only ones to witness it?

hmmm.... looks like theyre gatting itchy, they know we know.

"I was just watching TV and it appears that now KSM has also confessed to the murder of Danny Pearl. That just exposed this confession as a lie. Why? Danny Pearl was murdered by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, while tracking a money transfer from Pakistan (on the orders of then Pakistani General Mahmoud Ahmad to Dubai to September 11, 2001 lead hijacker Atta. More importantly, why are there only 2 pictures and no video of this man? Why is the tribunal closed? Why is he delivering his so-called confession in writing? I want to see a video of this man's confession, not a piece of paper. Where is Waldo? Does this administration think we are so stupid that we would confuse reality for made-for-politics justice? And where the hell is the healthy skepticism of the fourth estate? I mean really, if you cannot see the man or hear the man, then what makes you so certain he is even alive at this point? I see there is a transcript, so apparently someone actually spoke. Why can't we hear this? What possible reason is there for our limited access to information about an event that is so important to our nation? I call BS and I suggest that the media stop playing games with our national tragedy!"

"KSM was arrested four years ago and has been tortured since that time. Now, had this confession showed up a bit, um, sooner, I might find it less staged. But given how the Bush administration abuses the tragedy of September 11 for political reasons and how often they do it, plus the timing of this "confession,' I am highly skeptical. No, I am more than skeptical. (...) A tortured captive delivering a just-in time PR gift is not news. It is manipulative and deceptive. It is ugly even."

Taken from KSM Deflector Apparatus Up and Running where the following comment was posted: "This has Rove's greasy fingerprints all over it. When I saw the headlines this morning, I thought that any news organization that didn't put "confessed" in quotes was lily-livered. Let's just hope the Dems have improved their attention span so that they can keep pressing the Bushies on Gonzalez et al."

Yes isn't it great how we just see straight through their lies now. I just laughed at the KSM story, the guy looked like a drugged shell of a man. I know so many people who 2 years ago thought I was totally crazy and now they are coming to me flagging up things like this.

I wonder when the Tipping point will come? There must be good people in positions of power and influence who are just waiting for that moment when enough people are enlightened to play their hand.

OOh and now on BBC police have arrested people over the 7/7 bombings!
