Pardon me if I take the many confessions of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed with a grain of salt.

First, he has obviously been coerced.

Second, he is taking the blame off others, This is clear in his statement. A martyr for the cause. The last best act of 'terrorism'. Scare the pants off your enemy by standing tall.

And three, like he was everywhere. Zelig.

I just read that he confesses to personally beheading Daniel Pearl.

We know that this happens to every hardly treated and interviewed captive sooner or later; the Stockholm Syndrome or something like it.

Then add a dash of more salt; megalomania. One of those guys who had a hand in everything.

And isn't it interesting that, if you read the small print, almost 75 % of this news has been reported before. It is just the tribunal thing that is new.

Amazing how they have this stuff on the shelf to whip out when there is some other scandal brewing.

It doesn't seem to be holding the news cycle though.

It is not on Yahoo news or Reuters at all this afternoon but Gonzo and the gang are there still.

And I won't use the picture where they rousted him out of bed either.

Don't get me wrong. I figure that he is a nasty piece of work and deserves whatever he gets. I would just like whatever it is to be legal and according to the Geneva Convention and in an open hearing.

It is what we believe(d) in.
