The Ides of March
Beware!
So today comes the news that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed (in a closed military tribunal with no lawyers present after 3 1/2+ years of detention) to:
- planning 9/11 "from A to Z"
- the 1993 WTC bombing
- the Bali bombings (sad! Bali cry!)
- the shoe bomber
- personally beheading Daniel Pearl
as well as plans for something like 30 other attacks, including assassinations of various presidents, destroying Big Ben, Heathrow, the NYSE, a bunch of bridges, NATO HQ in Brussels, killing the Pope, etc. etc.
So, like, dude was busy. Sort of... suspiciously busy. Like, if he's doing all this, what was bin Laden doing? And, um, how come they're telling us this today? If they've had him in custody since 2003? A lot of questions, I'd say. Interesting, too, that after they've had years to do whatever they want to him, they got a confession. Wow, you don't suppose they tortured him or anything? It's not at all possible that maybe the confession is a wee bit exaggerated, not to mention, oh what's that word I'm looking for? COERCED.
The funny thing about it (if you can call anything that is representative of a once proud country in ruins because it grew fat and complacent and is now no more than an unstoppable bully imposing its neocon ultra-christian madness on the world...) is that everywhere you look on the web where people are commenting on the confession you see the same exact reaction -- "Was he on the grassy knoll too?" "He also confessed to being Anna Nicole's baby daddy" "Also: kidnapped the Lindbergh baby" etc.
No one believes this shit anymore.
