Well that's that sorted. As he was clearly responsible for everything they may as well let the rest go, pull the troops out and repeal the Patriot Act.

Nice to tie all the loose ends up.

Not until he admits to Roswell, and also faking the moon landings. :blink:

You can get anyone to confess something if you assault them for long enough.

Lol, after 4 years of interrogation they only found out how to spell his name in court.
Overall i'm unsure, i read the transcript and its a bit more convincing, but can't believe its anything but a confession under extreme duress.

He may be taking the view that he has no chance of getting out so he may as well take the heat for everything. The more he confesses to the less credibility the process has in the eyes of the general public and the more martyrish he is in the eyes of the Arab world.

Would have thought confessing to September the 11th would have been more than sufficient.

No! We cant have that. In accordance with police procedure all over the world records have to be cleared up. If he said he did it then he did it. I'm not too sure about the Titanic confession. He may have been too young at the time.:wacko:

He was also an infamous porn icon
