Re: the detainee from Gitmo who confessed to bombing the USS Cole:
Who wouldn't confess to anything when faced with repeated waterboarding? How can this "confession" have any creedence? The timing is also suspect, on the 4th anniversary of the start of the war.

3. Well, when you think about the men and women treated at Walter Reed
signing anything just to be able to go home and get on with their lives, it's not surprising that someone "confessed" to this at Gitmo ...
