So I guess this gets Osama bin Laden -- and his friend George W. Bush -- off the hook

Isn't it funny how this Administration always manages to capture yet another Al Qaeda #2 leader...or a top aide to Moqtada al-Sadr ...or a bunch of would-be ninjas being painted as a Grave Terrorist Threat -- right when it's trying to distract the public from one of its many scandals?

This time it's the "confession" of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to everything short of the crucifixion of Jesus, the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, the murder of the Black Dahlia, being D.B. Cooper, the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, and let's throw in the murder of Chandry Levy while we're at it:

Though American officials had linked Mr. Mohammed to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and to several others, his confession was the first time he spelled out in his own words a panoply of global terror activities, ranging from plans to bomb landmarks in New York City and London to assassination plots against former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and Pope John Paul II. Some of the plots he claimed to plan, including the attempt on Mr. Carter, had not previously been publicly disclosed.


That this so-called confession is as wide-reaching as it is makes me wonder what the hell they did to this guy to make him confess to all these plots -- and why they didn't throw in, oh, say, the death of Lori Klausutis too, just to wrap up a few more cold cases. It also makes me wonder if all these plots occurred BEFORE Mohammed's detainment at Guantanamo Bay, and if not, what the hell kind of operaton they're running down there that he can continue to plot, and whether he has a direct line to Washington to hammer out the details of the NEXT attack on this country, which the Bush Administration is going to sorely need once the subpoenas start flying. And it also makes me wonder, if this guy is the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, does that get Osama bin Laden off the book? And how convenient is that for the bin Ladens' good friends the Bush family, that their prodigal son is exonerated?
