Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

Last week transcripts from the interrogation of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed were released. Apparently, Mr. Mohammed confessed to being guilty to being the mastermind behind the attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001, as well as being the one who beheaded Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter. In addition, Mr. Mohammed claimed to be involved in a good 29 other terrorist attacks and planned attacks.

I am sure Mr. Mohammed is not an innocent lamb, a falafel vendor in the wrong place at the wrong time as it were, but how credible are these confessions? How can we be sure he is not also guilty of the troubles in Iraq; the Taliban resistance; the attacks in Madrid or Global Warming as well?!? After all, most of these confessions were gotten with the "assistance" of Pakistani and Egyptian security forces.

It seems to me that the Time is right on the money: this guy is making things up!
