Khalid Sheikh Mohammed claims responsibility for terrorist attacks on 9/11 among many

by Bijhan Al-Attack

khalid.thumbnail.jpgAccording to Reuters, in a military court in Guantanamo Bay, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed admitted to being the mastermind behind the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the World Trade Center bombing of 1993, the bombing of an Indonesian nightclub, and attempted shoe bombings. In fact, the terrorist admitted to over 30 attacks or attempted attacks, including an attempt on Pope John Paul II, launching a Russian missile at a Jewish airliner from Mombasa, and an assassination attempt on then-President Bill Clinton.

The hearing was to judge whether or not he will be classified as an enemy combatant by military standards. It’s very unlikely he will be determined not to be an enemy combatant, but if he were he would be sent back to Pakistan, his nation of origin.

Afterwards the transcript of the hearing was released to the public (available here: http://www.defenselink.mil/news/transcript_ISN10024.pdf), but was highly censored. Among the censored material was one of Mohammed’s offenses, which I personally found disturbing. Also, I found this very odd excerpt on Page 8:

RECORDER: Sir, would you hold one moment?
PRESIDENT: Yes.
RECORDER: Ah, before the Detainee makes a statement, ah, I’d like to ah.
PRESIDENT: Question of the oath?
RECORDER: Ah, no sir.
RECORDER: Concerning classified evidence.
PRESIDENT: Very well.

The evidence’s appearance in court is never described in the transcript. Why?

I am confused by this, and I wonder at what our government is hiding from us.

    Isn’t it the case that a lot of what we should be seeing is censored in some fashion. It makes you ponder on what is being omitted. What is it we aren’t meant to see? Is there some truth that we are too weak or too stupid to understand?

About Political Frenzy

political frenzy - the state of mind in which one questions all points of view, attacks all angles of a story in order to find its weakest spot, and leads a full-frontal assault on the mores and demands of decaying society in the hope that the rising generation will take their intellectual excellence and achieve its fullest, always remembering and never repeating the follies of its predecessors.
