Alright, I'm sure by now everyone has seen the news about Khalid Sheikh Muhammad (KSM) confessing to something like 31 attempted terrorist attacks. Now, since I am cynical I can't help but wonder a few things:
1) Did the torture he underwent help in his confession? And yes, I count waterboarding as torture.
2) Do all 31 of those terrorism attempts actually exist? Or did KSM make them up because he was tortured?
3) If they do exist, was he involved and the mastermind behind them as he is now claiming?
I just find it convenient that there are a number of Republican and White House scandals in the news over the last few weeks, and hey presto, here comes KSM saying that Bush was right and al-Qaeda was going to kick our ass if not for Bush. I have no problem believing that terrorist are out there and some are targeting us. But the scope of this seems a little high and the timing highly suspicious.
