Did Khalid Sheikh Mohammed admit to killing JFK yet?

No. They are working on that JFK thing and also getting him to admit he was on the bridge when Teddy killed that girl.

I'm not saying he never planned terror attacks or killed anyone, but I think he's just admitting to things because of the torture. You can still be evil and maybe even involve and still be a patsy at the same time.

Thanks for taking the time to read his statement, for acknowledging the fact that he was given the opportunity to write down, speak and have translating help in clarifying any statements he did make to the Military Tribunal hearing his case.

If you read the statement, where he admits to expressing his responsibility and culpability in a great number of things, under NO DURESS, and how he defends many in GitMo who are detainees but held, in his opinion, without sufficient evidence or clarification of status, you would know that for whatever treatment he received, he has had a wealth of assistance and time in bringing his thoughts, views, memories, responsibilities and facts as he knows them, to share with the tribunal.

I think there are few patsies, as you put it, in a global effort to down America once and for all. I think there are several sources of anti-American sentiment in the world, and so suggesting the government has to concoct a story to put in front of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad seems rather unnecessary.

If you don't believe his statement (if you have read it), that is your right. But I don't believe that this man is by any means innocent of crimes against the American people. Not the American government, who deals with his kind on an hourly basis all around the world, but the crimes he committed against the American people, for which he apologized, partially, for the killing of children as, for lack of a better term, collateral damage.

His claim is he is a revolutionary, a la George Washington, who is deemed a hero to the US, but likely a war criminal to the British. He states he doesn't claim to be a hero, but those he worked for are understandably viewed as heroes because they fight against an oppressive (?) US occupation of Arab/Islamic lands. He feels his efforts were justified within the context of a legitimate war.

There are a great many who would solely blame the US for Pearl Harbor, the Great Depression, AIDS, etc. That is the nature of the world today. Today we hear of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad's confessions in the US, while American media outlets abroad skip the story entirely and focus on torture in the current conflict.

Torture is abhorrent, of course we know that. But what we fail to realize is the very protections and liberties that are upheld by our military and intelligence forces in ways we would find drastic or unAmerican. We can criticize, because we have the FREEDOM to. WHY do we have the freedom to? Because those tactics are sometimes used, not often arbitrarily, but often necessarily to garner information that can save AMERICAN lives.

If you think American lives are not worth saving, then OBL and Khalid Sheikh Mohammad are patsies to you. If you think that American lives and values are paramount, then the suffering of those who openly declared war on America YEARS ago should not affect you so much.

I am no Bush supporter, but you can hardly find fault with a question to the world, "Are you with us, or against us" ? I am with America, for good, bad or otherwise. It is my home, a wonderful place to be and to live, full of wonderful human beings who deserve the best protection and the very best society we, the people/gov't/military can afford them.

The view of the world as one big happy global human family is simply disingenuous. We'd love for it to BE that way, but diversity in economics, culture, language, customs and motivations simply prohibit that from ever becoming reality. We can be diligent in improving the standards of living for those willing to help themselves in that direction as well. But we can't DO IT for them. We can't DO that for Al Qaeda or Taliban or Palestine when they outright don't respect our way of life. So it is a culture war, and it is one that must be fought, not negotiated. It's unfortunate, both sides admit it, but it is a war. And in war, you fight to win, not make friends.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammad understands that. We just wish the rest of the world did too.

Just wait ...there is still time...Although I have my doubts about him being Santa Claus...I was actually thinking about him being the Easter Bunny...

Yes to all--and Oliver Stone has snatched up the movie rights.

As soon as the GOP spin machine can figure out how to put him on the grassy knoll...wait for it!!!!!

He just admitted to messing up with Hiroshima too ...

I think it is some sort of test to see just how dumb the American public is. If they buy this story they will swallow any excuse Bush & Co. make to bomb Iran.

they are still trying to make the time line fit.

So you think he didn't do anything wrong? He never killed anyone, never planned terror, nothing?
