KSM Confession Renders Trial Redundant
In December, I uttered and published a critical analysis of a confession which was signed and submitted to a military tribunal by Khalid Sheikh Momammed and his excellent companions. Since that post, a prior decision to try the terrorists in a civilian court located near the scene of the attack was withdrawn, pending a new decision which might place the trial in a different venue or transfer it to a military tribunal, where it belongs.
In reality, given the confession, there is no need of a trial. What is needed is a soaking in pigs blood and summary execution. In evidence whereof I submit to you the second and last paragraphs of the confession. They said that they participated in the attack, that it was their "religious duty" and expressed their pride in what they have done.
We ask to be near to God, we fight you and destroy you and terrorize you. The Jihad in god's cause is a great duty in our religion. We have news for you, the news is: You will be greatly defeated in Afghanistan and Iraq and that America will fall, politically, militarily, and economically. Your end is very near and your fall will be just as the fall of the towers on the blessed 9/11 day. We will raise from the
ruins, God willing. We will leave this imprisonment with our noses raised high in dignity, as the lion emerges from his den. We shall pass over the blades of the sword into the gates of heaven.
So we ask from God to accept our contributions to the great attack, the great attack on America, and to
place our nineteen martyred brethren among the highest peaks in paradise.
God is great and pride for God, the prophet, and the believers....
Call a halt to the dithering. Cancel the trial and usher the demon spawn into Hell; let us be done with it, inexpensively and expeditiously. Stake them to the bottom of several pit toilets in Central Park and hold a big picnic with plenty of bbq, watermelon and beer. When the pits are full, remove the outhouses and plant apple trees in their place.
Remember those who died, those who suffered great injury and their survivors. Let us firmly resolve that the second attack on the World Trade Center will be the last; let us begin the long process of ridding the world of the demonic war cult whose doctrines mandate perpetual attacks against us.
