Where is Waldo, err, Khalid Sheik Mohammed?

The military tribunal has one hell of a side-show going on and has - as intended - blocked all real news from seeing the light of day. According to a transcript released by the tribunal, the person confessing to the attacks of September 11, 2001 is Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM). We cannot see him or hear him, but we are told that he is at Gitmo, confessing in person.

The reason we cannot see or hear him? Something having to do with national security we are told, although that too is also classified.

And although we have had KSM in custody for 4 years, tortured at various secret facilities around the globe, it is only now, that he delivers a confession. Just who are we to believe this man is confessing to? If he is confessing to the public, then why is the public missing from the tribunal, even in some capacity? And why are we to believe that the man who is allegedly confessing is the man called Khalid Sheik Mohammed? What evidence do we have to support this allegation? We have allegedly held this man for 4 years and we have but 2 photos of him and no video or audio?

I cannot believe most of this, frankly. In order to do that, I would have to deny even my most basic ability to reason. I have no idea what is going on here, but I am unwilling to be played like a fool by an administration that continues to play politics with everything sacred to this nation.

1. Just as importnt-Where are his children?

The US has his sons in "custody" at an undisclosed location for 4 years now, supposedly they are being "encouraged" to talk about their fathers activities. Think they're being offered trips to Disneyland or what?

2. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed

so you gotta believe him.

3. If he confessed so "freely and openly"

As I heard on NPR this morning, then why can't we see a video of him saying it?

It would make TERRIFIC propaganda for the Bushites.

No, I suspect the signature on that "confession" was made while an unknown finger was poised over an electrical switch.

4. I kinda feel the same way.

I find it funny that after all this time we are suddenly hearing confessions from this guy, everything from the first Trade Tower bombing to 9/11 and more. Wow! Would be great, but is it for real? As usual, the right wing-nut pundits are putting down anyone not immediately swallowing this whole.

14. What was the date that he was "arrested" and taken?

I'm wondering if this is an article that came out premature with an incorrect source and then was corrected, or when the date of his alleged "capture" was confirmed...

What I find disturbing is the reference to his wife and kid being detained and questioned....is the true story that Khalid Sheik Mohammed "taken" that day along with his famly, tortured (or them too) and then wisked away on one of many CIA rendition flights, ultimately ending up in Gitmo?

All I know is while this man may have done lots of terrible terrorist acts, which and how many is very questionable as far as I'm concerned based on how he is being tried and the fact that torture was used. If he was such the "mastermind", why didn't we hear about him as much or more than we did about Bin Ladin? And maybe its just me, but it seems that he has confessed to just about everything....so now that he's been in custody and is likely going to be put to death, does this mean the war on terror has been won? Can we go home now? Is Bin Ladin free to continue being free because he's not the big Kahuna after all??? :shrug:

Too many things don't match up....

In his confession, KSM claims:

"I was responsible for planning, training, surveying, and financing for the New (or Second) Wave of attacks against the following skyscrapers after 9/11: ...Plaza Bank, Washington state"

The Plaza Bank was not founded until 2006 according to their official Web site:

" Founded in early 2006, with a vision of creating the leading commercial bank in the Pacific Northwest, Plaza Bank’s story quickly captured the hearts and passion of some of the region’s leading business minds. From Jack Creighton, former CEO of Weyerhaeuser and United Airlines, to former Seattle Mariner Edgar Martinez, and nationally acclaimed salon operator Gene Juárez, the story of a bank founded to bring “class to the mass” simply could not be contained."

I think we can say for quite certain that whomever is being held as KSM was either caught recently or that his entire confession is a fraud.

and thanks for posting:)

12. what was the SNL skit....

you tubin' it/

[Canuckistanian]

13. Or that he's not really KSM

Or that KSM is a made-up name altogether.

Seriously, had anyone ever heard of him, pre-9/11? I know he supposedly graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 1986.

But that could be someone else.

Anyone in intelligence ever linked him to OBL? Al Qaeda? The "brotherhood"?

And I mean pre-Bush intelligence?

[Pachamama]

15. The "Forrest Gump of Al Qaeda"?

So that's how they want us to believe that this man was connected to everything????
