Only in a coddled, perhaps overprotected society would anyone defend the likes of a murderer beheading an innocent man with a dull knife.This is beyond typical liberal insanity. Maybe the Bush haters would be happier if the beast had decapitated them. In the words of John Lennon. " Nobody told me there would be days like these. Strange days indeed."

YOU are complaining about the treatment of a man who tortured, murdered and BEHEADED Daniel Pearl. "RIGHTS" are the perview of AMERICANS, not foriegn terrorists. WE didn't give GERMAN NAZIS "rights", nor did we give any Japanese the right to "challenge" their detention. Khalid Shiek Muhammed is a man who would NEVER respect AMERICAN law. IF given the chance, he'd behead or kill more Americans. AND YOU LIBNUTS cry that he isn't getting his rights. PERHAPS let him move in next door to you. SEE if he respects your "RIGHTS".

This is soon before this individual is to have not an open trial but a closed military tribunal. Funny how this supposed “confession” news is based upon not something videotaped and shown on the “news” but a written transcript from the DoD. The same DoD that claimed Pat Tillman was cut down while charging up a hill in the teeth of Taliban machine-gun fire when he was behind a boulder and shot by friendly fire from trigger-happy Army Rangers. The same DoD that every time a helicopter gets shot down in Iraq or Afghanistan they always say it made an “emergency landing” after suffering “mechanical problems”. (The same DoD that still claims Agent Orange and depleted uranium aren’t harmful). Anyone who takes them at their word has rocks in their head.

I STILL can't get behind 99% of the conservative POV, but the way liberals seem to have no spine whatsoever -- no willingness to subject Islam to the same normal criticism you'd subject any other form of thought, no willingness to recognize that the US is *NOT* the single source from which all savage evil flows... And to the idiot who said we should release KSM because you "live in the sticks" -- wtf???? Did any of you actually READ the transcript of the hearing? Why don't you download the PDF, and start with KSM's statement on page 20. See if you think that sounds like a brow-beaten, poor little innocent victim of the horrible, evil US. For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!! It makes me SICK that I have to choose between on one hand the Republicans whose primary spokespeople seem to be James Dobbson, Ann Coulter, and Rush Limbaugh --- and on the other a party so full of willfully blind morons who go through all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid understanding what the "war on terrorism" is really all about. People, this is NOT BUSH'S WAR. Going into Iraq *WAS STUPID* and possibly the most poorly thought-out military action in 100 years, but the WAR that we are in now started almost 30 years ago... and it was started by fundamentalist Islam.
