Now we know who the father of Anna Nicole’s baby REALLY is!
WASHINGTON — Suspected 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to the beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl and a central role in 30 other attacks and plots in the U.S. and worldwide that killed thousands of victims, said a revised transcript released Thursday by the U.S. military.[..]
....between his water boarding sessions and having an electric cattle prod shoved up his arse.....
Well, what do you know .. the media was swarming all over Bush White House scandals, and boom! .. all of a sudden we have another 9/11 news story to grab headlines .. and crowd out the Walter Reed scandal, sending wounded vets back into battle, politically motivated firing of prosecutors, the Libby verdict and I don't know what all. How politically timely.
Rove is truly a genius .. someone woke him up from his Nov. 6th nap.
I think the simple fact that these hearings are not conducted in a fair and open manner says it all. CNN said the part of the transcript where he was asked if he had been coerced into making these confessions had been largely deleted.
Look, I'm sure that this is one murdering savage .. who is probably guilty of a lot of unspeakable things he should be punished for .. I'd like to give him a couple of good whacks myself.
But -- I just find it odd that he should all of a sudden confess to everything from 9/11 to the OJ murders .. 4 or 5 years of "coercive methods" of interrogation do get confessions, but they don't always get the truth.
Whether you believe it all or not, it comes down to America's credibility. What with Abu Ghraib, Gitmo and secret prisons, we've lost much respect in the world. Our shining beacon of liberty has dimmed. So, no matter what this guy confesses to, our policies of interrogation cast a reasonable doubt on his words.
But the thing that strikes me the most is the ‘Murder She Wrote’ aspect of this whole thing .. gather up all unsolved crimes and end the show with a quick confession, tying up loose ends in a neat package.
And the US can execute this guy and even another fifty more from that novelty deck of cards .. but we may never be able to wash our hands of the mess we created. At least not in our lifetime.
# Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
