If you're interested - February 12th, 2008

I make no apologies for reproducing this post originally written in march last year when Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was last in the news having 'fessed up to every atrocity real or imagined that had hitherto baffled the world's security services...it is appropriate to do so given that the man is again front page news in what is most likely his last few months on this mortal coil...following his yet to be announced guilty verdict he will no doubt be sacrificed to the American public to quell the disquiet of too many body bags...and maybe he deserves it if his confession is real. 
At this point however, it is worth remembering that we bombed the shit out of two middle eastern states and are seriously considering going for the hat-trick..murdering fuck knows how many in the process...on the pretext of getting Bin Laden..remember him...public enemy number one...yes that's him...evil Islamic Stranglelove...svengali for every dirty murdering bastard with sand in his boots and a Koran under his arm...now you've got it..the man we were told was solely responsible for all of the evil acts which Khalid has now admitted...mind you, friend Khalid was locked up in Guantanamo when he chose to sing like a canary...under the direct, unsupervised, illegal jackboots of those nice CIA chappies...makes you think really...who are the good guys...?

We can all sleep safer in our beds in the knowledge that the likes of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is no longer free to roam the streets and is under lock and key at Guantanamo Bay...seemingly, he has confessed all at a Military hearing , owning up to a list of heinous acts as long as your arm...

Apparently it was he...and not Bin Laden...who was responsible for 9/11 and he had, it was said, planned similar attacks on Big Ben, Heathrow Airport , Library Tower Los Angeles, Sears Tower Chicago, Plaza Building Washington State, the Empire State Building NY, various unspecified Israeli targets and the Panama Canal...quite a hit list which I'm sure you will agree elevates Mr Mohammed right up there to the top of the pile as Public Enemy number 1...especially now that Saddam is no more and Bin Laden seems to be on sabbatical.
At a time when the whole war on terror thing is causing the great American public some disquiet it was rather convenient of Mr Mohammed to admit to this long list of fiendish yet unfulfilled plots especially since it will most likely lead to him being confirmed as an enemy combatant...allowing the US to parade him before some kangaroo Military Tribunal at Guantanamo Bay before despatching him at the end of a rope, a bullet or a lethal injection complete with PR fanfare. I suspect his outpouring has more to do with the special interview techniques of the US security services in whatever shit-hole he's been festering in for the past few years rather than a sudden realization that in fact he had been a very bad man and therefore reinforces Washington's view that in this new era, the ends justify the means...will the US and wider public fall for it?...I expect so.

Apparently, CIA sources also confirmed today that Mr Mohammed openly boasted that it was in fact he who pushed Humpty Dumpty off the wall, tripped Jack up on his way down the hill with a pail of water and planted a big hairy spider beside Little Miss Muffet and the world should be mighty glad that he was safe in their custody....God Bless America!

Excuse me whilst I stick my head in the sand for a bit longer and wait for the rest of the world to wake up...
