‘9/11 Mastermind’ Mohammed Says He Wants Death PenaltyPosted on Jun 5, 2008
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees appeared in court at the U.S. naval base’s Camp Justice for an arraignment that effectively sets the legal wheels in motion for the war crimes trials of Mohammed and his alleged 9/11 co-conspirators.

ruse indeed. according to one of the british defense attorneys, guantamo is a diversion, as there are approx 27,000 people in custody around the world, from iraq, afghanistan—where they are building a new $6mil prison at baghram—to prison ships like in the victorian era. they are bringing foreigners into iraq to imprison them, a new tactic for avoiding journalists and lawyers. the war on terror runs deep… the whole thing is obscene.

Please! This is a ruse! Prior to arraignment, Camp Justice tortured this Ron Jeremy look-alike, who has copped to everything from the Lincoln assassination up to 9/11 before being run through paces in a kangaroo court. We all know how supremely reliable confessions extracted via torture are. I can clearly appreciate why this guy welcomes martyrdom. I, too, would welcome death, just to escape the farce of continued prosecution in this ridiculous war on terrah.

i agree with one of the defense attorneys: if the american public knew the damage being done with these trials, they would reject them. i am not condoning terrorism; i am defending our constitution.

I’m not buying that the judge (or the prosecution) is worried about any al-Qaeda propaganda coming from KSM in the courtroom, or from any of these other detainees.
Nope..they are far more worried about some TRUTH coming out here, that they damn sure don’t want us to know.
We already know perfectly well that after 6 years of torture and other abuses at the hands of the CIA and other military operations, KSM is totally insane, and there is little of value that can be gained from him in a tribunal or other legal proceeding.
That’s not to say that helpful information might not eventually be gleaned from him, over a long period of time, and by professionals. But, it’s not anything they really want to find out, and none of it would provide the truth to the events of 9/11, other than to possibly show that it may have been his idea, and the Thugs beat him to it.
