KSM to Plead Guilty
Update: Nope, Just Wants to Grandstand

Warning: this is breaking now, and there isn't much information available about it.

Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks, and four co-defendants have offered to plead guilty. The five have been in proceedings before a military tribunal since February 11, 2008. The government is seeking the death penalty for all five.

"The accused in this case had decided that they wished to withdraw all motions... and wished to enter pleas in what was termed as confessions in this case," the judge, Army Colonel Stephen Henley, said shortly after the pre-trial proceedings began.

When asked by the judge if he was prepared to enter pleas Monday to all the charges should the commission allow the defendants to withdraw their motions, Mohammed said "Yes."

"We don't want to waste time," Mohammed told the judge.

Note, they haven't pled yet, they're just saying they will plead guilty.

Rusty asks, "I wonder how the 9/11 truthers are going to spin this one?" Easy: they tortured them into this. Poor KSM just. can't. take it. anymore (sob).

UPDATE: My initial skepticism paid off. This isn't quite a guilty plea, although it appears the defendants want to confess. Rather, it looks like they just want a day set aside to grandstand:

The military judge, Colonel Stephen Henley, read aloud a letter in which the five defendants said they "request an immediate hearing session to announce our confessions".

The letter implies they want to plead guilty but does not make clear whether they will admit to any specific charges. It says the men, who are representing themselves, wish to drop all previous defence motions.

According to courtroom reports, the letter appears intended to short-circuit the tribunal process and expedite punishment for the five detainees. Earlier this year, Mohammed said he would welcome being "martyred" by the death penalty.

In-court confessions will certainly speed the process along. But I suspect KSM will spend more time railing against Zionists and the U.S. government than confessing to involvement in 9/11.

KSM is terrified that the stupid Americans will find him not guilty and send him home. How can he face his homeys with an "Innocent" label?

6 He figures now that the vomit is in office he will get no death sentence and he will go to a fed pen where he can be let out at a later date when the next round of American hostages are taken.

Yeah, part me is jumping for joy but the other part is wondering what brought this on.  Is there something we don't know?

They're played out and they know it, so the only thing they have to parley with is their plea. The upshot? Martyrdom for Islam.

If there are better candidates for Chicago Jesus' Deep South "infrastructure improvement" chain gangs, I can't think of any.

Just wondering: Do you have to be convicted first in order to be pardoned?

12 Karl Rove has personally been pulling out this bastard's back hairs one at a time over the last 8 months.  Mo's finally had enough and given a false confession in exchange for bareback sex with a 1965 era Billy Mumy look alike.

My opinion is that they want to be executed and hope that it will cause the islamonuts to rise up. However, contrary to popular believe, once dead islamofasists are forgotten. When they are alive, they get traded though these asshole will never be traded.

When I have my seal cegel, you feel it is not the point, but there is a lot of emotional feeling cross, complex and exciting. When you have more sealonline cegel, you can own the entire world. Once you have seal online cegel, you can do more! Quickly go alone in unfamiliar streets, there is no concern and warmth look of sympathy, just silently listening to headphones, different styles of music, his eyes drift without purpose, I do not know whether to find his own corner. Although we have cheap seal cegel, At least I can have my own things, rather than wishful thinking. When you buy seal online cegel, you can make a choice if you had been ready for it!
