Terrorist Confession: Tainted by Torture...a true shame!

Khalid Sheik Mohammed is a bad guy, and an actual al Qadea leader, not lackey, like so many of the other "enemy conbatants" have turned out to be. But unfortunately, his confession will be tained by the fact that:

he was subject to "extraordinary rendition" (Bush-speak for kidnapping and extradition to countries practiced in the art of torture);
he was subjected to "enhanced interrogation techniques" (torture), most famously by "water-boarding" (Bush parlance for similated drowning); and
the 9/11 Commission has found that he is prone to delusions of grandeur.
Recalling Moussaoui, an al Qaeda flunky who exagerrated his role so that he could achieve martyrdom via the death penalty, the 9/11 Commission described KSM as envisioning

a spectacle of destruction with KSM as the self-cast star--the superterrorist.
Ufortuantely (because KSM could have been a great candidate for a good, old-fashioned civilian trial--remember, the U.S. Attorney obtained an indictment against him in January 1996), this is a pattern of the Bush Administration when it's under attack--most recently for the U.S Attorney massacre. Raise the terror threat level, trot out some of the bad guys, and give grandiose descriptions of the evil they planned or perpetrated. Unlike Lindh, Hamdan, Moussaoui, Hamdi, and others who turned out to be nobodies, KSM is a somebody.
