Do Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confessions improve your opinion

[Jackpine Radical]

of GWB?

Personally, I'm not sure, but based on all this good news I'm considering elevating him one notch on my scale, up from scumbag to sleazeball.

1. I want a fair, open trial for KSM. That would be the path to justice.

Confessions via torture and a kangaroo court trial in which the public only sees what the Bush Administration wants us to isn't justice.

2. I want a fair, open trial for GWB, Rumsfeld, and Cheney at The Hague. That would be the path to

justice.

4. Yes, them too. NT

3. I think he confessed to more than he was involved in because

a) he's caught and finished, and

b) he wants to throw us off the scent of other perpetrators.

He has nothing to lose, so why not?

Oh, and GWB is a traitor to the constitution for condoning torture.

7. He's the Jon Lovitz of terrorists. After he was caught, he agreed to everything,

because he ain't going nowhere.

"Yeah, that was me and my third cousin, Abdul, that planned that one. Where is Abdul now, you ask? He was lost, er, ... at the parting of the Red Sea, yeah, that's the ticket, the Red Sea."

5. Why would it?

We know that KSM was a terrorist (no surprise), but the fact that dangerous men really do exist does not in any way improve GWB's incompetent and dangerous handling of that threat...

8. Oh, drat!

I forgot that little sarcasm thingie again.

[petronius]

13. No, no - the sarcasm thingy was clearly implied

However, when I responded I was in the "speak carefully and literally and maybe the cops won't notice you've been drinking" phase of my evening drunkfest (I'm past that now). It was clear from your post that this confession in no way elevates GWB's standing; I replied as I would to a person who could actually believe that sort of clap-trap...

6. how many terrorist acts

was this guy planning? The longer the list goes on the more ludicrous it gets. You can't make this stuff up. The interrogators had to be asking leading questions before they shocked and waterboarded him. He confessed to everything under the sun. The Republican Party has raided trillions of the Treasury dollars to find terror plots and prevent future attacks and this is the best they can do. What make him confess to 20 crimes so at least one will stick?

9. The stupidity of torture eptomizes this adminstration

If you torture someone, you never can know if anything they say is a fact or not. Therefore, it's worthless. I had to be subjected (actually when Ms. Rightie Twitie Blondie went on and on I went and scrubbed the toilet instead) to this "debate" on the View. This valid point of course wasn't discussed. If your loved one dies-goddamn it-you want those actually guilty tried and punished. Not someone who did some other crime tortured to say they killed your loved one. It's meaningless and it let's the possible real killer off, plus anyone else that may need to be prosecuted as an accessory-or worse let's some other innocent shumck be tortured.

That's Freedom and Justice in Bush's Amerikay-letting the real killers free and torturning someone that looks like the real killer. We will never know what this dude actually did or didn't do. And that is a crime against those that died.

10. Not till he confesses why

he told the Secret Service * was safe to sit in an unsecure, disclosed location for the whole attack.

[WinkyDink]

11. No HUGH!!!! press conference about these "revelations"? No

Prime-time Bush with a bullhorn about this guy? "America! We got him! He confessed! September 11 is avenged! God is on our side!"

The "Mastermind of 9/11" and Bush is SILENT??! Dang. There was more national hoopla over John Dillinger.

Yeah, I believe this tortured man. Except not.

12. yahoo is already reporting that his claims are exaggerated but even they aren't

that doesn't move my opinion of *.
