Just read a rather amusing comment today.

I opened up the BBC on the net and on the frontpage I see a story;

 

"The alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks has confessed to his role in them, and 30 other terror plots around the world, the Pentagon says.
"I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z," said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a transcript of a US hearing at Guantanamo Bay prison camp"

Doesn't this seem ridiculous?
This guy has not only been kept in guantanamo bay, but also in the secret CIA torture prisons around the world.
What do they expect him to say? Hes been kept for TWO YEARS, at this point he'll be saying whatever they want
I just find it incredible that they (the whitehouse) are taking these statements as authoritive proof and justification for their miserably failing struggles against terrorism.

It reminds me of the witchhunts of ancient times, where the Spanish Inquisition would get people to confess by torturing them in ridiculously gruesome ways until they finally gave in. 

Let me spell it out; He has been tortured for two years, he will say WHATEVER THEY WANT HIM TO SAY. 
But don't for a second think that now he has owned up, he MIGHT be tried in an American court. Oh no, that might mean the TRUTH might come out! Instead he'll be tried in some clandestine military tribunal where the only people present are those employed by the military.

Honestly, the world should wake up to this crap the American government is trying to call "justice".
