(CNN)-WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the United States, has admitted responsibility for those and other major al Qaeda operations, according to the transcript of a hearing at Guantanamo Bay released on Wednesday.
I was responsible for the 9/11 Operation, from A to Z," Mohammed, speaking through a personal representative, said, according to the transcript of the hearing on Saturday at the U.S. military prison camp in Cuba released by the Pentagon.
"I was the operational director for Sheikh Usama [Osama] Bin Laden for the organizing, planning, follow-up, and execution of the 9/11 operation," he said through his representative, a member of the U.S. military.

I bet at that point he would have confessed to dropping a house on the Wicked Witch of the East. Look at the dude:
He looks beat down and exhausted.
Good work guys

BTW: that was a photo from 2003 in Pakistan-- not that reading or research is your forte'
Face it people-- Terrorists killed all of those people on 9/11

You must have missed the Al Jazeera interview with KSM (before we captured him) in which he discussed how he planned 9/11...........
That guy looks like a genius, i wonder how he got norad to stand down, and how he found a pilot who could crash into the pentagon without even scratching the ground. Or how he found pilots who could figure out the controls of 757 after learning on suv sized planes. Im tellin ya, those guys livin in caves sure know how to plan an attack!
None of the attourneys for either the prosecution or the defense have been allowed access to Sheikh Mohammed, who is not available to testify in person or by video for national security reasons. However, the lawyers have been given numerous written summaries of Sheikh Mohammed's oral statements made in response to direct questioning.
Listed below are some of the statements Sheikh Mohammed made in response to questioning. You should assume that if Sheikh Mohammed was avaiable to testify in this courtroom under oath and subject to perjury he would have said what is contained in these statements
Sheikh mohammed wrote the following:
I know that the materialistic Wetern mind cannot grasp the idea, and it is difficult for them to believe that the high officials in Al Queda do not know about operations carried out by its operatives, but this is how it works. We do not submit written reports to our higher ups. I conducted the September 11 atacks by submitting only oral reports. I would travel for a day-and-a-half to reach Bin Ladin, and I inform him what was happening. Sometimes I scratched down my notes on a small piece of paper about 10cm long. This is unacceptable in operations administered by the West. We sent meaningless letters of few lines. We spoke nonsense on the telephone with the operatives and the go-between people like Ramzi Bin al-Shibh. but in the end the operation was a success. I know that running an operation in the West requires specific administrative work. Yet, you must believe that the operation could be run successfuly with simple primitive means.

dittint they say O cia ben laden fess up to this all ready...nobody believed it then so they bring out thier trump card...so after 4 years or so in GITMO..he decided that the offers of dounts and coffe are worth the 'fessing' up to a lie....this fessing up is worth about as much as the official 911 investigation.
i wonder how this is being looked at in the ..outside amerika press??
will the flock sway to the sheppard???

Man O Man, I knew something like this would happen.
I guess this wraps it up the 911 conspiracy, we can all go home now.
And only two days after gathering 911 links and one week on the
911 conspiracy.
Guess I went on too many boards with the awful truth.
I was a waiting for this to be posted, guess he was denied the internet
or he would know to sue for internet fraud.
Back to media news where everything is hunky dory.
I will just have to drop all the good internet 911 conspiracy that was
wrapping up quite nicely. The flights never existed, fake evidence of which
some is photo like that worked for the lunar landing and Roswell, small
missile like the V1 did all three buildings, no plane crash in PA, WTC sub
basement collapse, top down squib explosions, FEMA helicopters observing,
blaming Al-Queda with pictures of people still alive today, shaped charges,
thermite, thermate and lack of government finding the true terrorists.
One week of wasted effort.
Or is Roswell, the lunar landing and WTC all connected by the people
that shoved Truman and Eisenhower around down to Kennedy and
now Bush. Will Bush set the record straight.

I'll let you come to your own conclusions.
p.s. I'm not a massive contributor, but I'm already totally sick of people who ruin a thread relating to a new story with pointless, poorly constructed, closed-minded, unneccesary posts. Why bother? You aren't contributing, you're diluting. Only a fool speaks when they have nothing to say. Don't reply to this either, go read something.

Paragraph e. A computer hard drive seized during the capture of the detainee contained photographs of 19 individuals identified as the 11 September 2001 hijackers."
