what is the confusion?

"Khalid Sheikh Mohammed said Monday he will confess to masterminding the Sept. 11 attacks, throwing his death-penalty trial into disarray and shocking victims' relatives who watched from behind a glass partition. Four other men also abandoned their defenses, in effect daring the Pentagon to grant their wish for martyrdom."

Why is there confusion? The plead guilty, now it's time for their sentence. If it's to be death, simply do it in a "humane" way, but one that is distasteful to their culture.

    This question does not belong in Etiquette; however, the etiquette in this situation is only to serve justice, disregarding culture - definitely not attempting to make the penalty more injurious via the means of execution.
