Hey, I Know! We Could Have a Show Trial!


About the only thing he didn't confess to was loving Big Brother:

Waleed bin Attash, a suspected key al-Qaida operative, confessed to plotting the bombings of the USS Cole and two U.S. embassies in Africa, according to a Pentagon transcript of a hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba...

"I participated in the buying or purchasing of the explosives," bin Attash said when asked what his role was in the attacks. "I put together the plan for the operation a year and a half prior to the operation, buying the boat and recruiting the members that did the operation."


Joe Stalin would be proud.

Interestingly, though, the brother of one of the Cole's victims isn't playing along--good for him:

"It's good that this guy wants to confess, although I have questions about the veracity of his claims," said Jamal Gunn, 26, of Virginia Beach, Va., whose brother, Cherone Gunn, was killed aboard the Cole.

I wonder if the wingnut noise machine will come out in force--maybe they'll get all worked up over his name...
