What do you expect a martyr to say?
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is saying he did everything except build the pyramids. He claims he was responsible for dozens of foiled, successful and otherwise botched attacks over a 15 year period. The AP rightly asks what does Khalid means when he uses the world “responsible.”
Officials say the 9/11 mastermind was key to some plots but a bit player in others.
An unidentified source noted that Mohammed‘s activities are likely to be the subject of an upcoming military tribunal.
While there apparently is truth in much of the statement, several officials said, there‘s also an element of self-promotion. They view the claims as at least in part a rallying cry to bolster his image and that of al-Qaida in the only venue Mohammed has left: a military courtroom from which the public is barred.
“I have never known a criminal — either terrorist or otherwise — that didn‘t exaggerate,” said Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, a former FBI agent and the top Republican on the terrorism panel of the House Intelligence Committee.

Mike Rogers has a point. Criminals do not know how to tell the straight truth. This Mohammed character is a distraction from humanity’s movement toward enlightened progress. His only place should be a dark, dank military courtroom. No frills, and definitely no thrills.
Regarding the virgin reference, the women’s movement has progressed from this foolishness. The male population would be wise to catch up.
