- strafefire, on 03/10/2009, -23/+147No offense, but if someone were to shock me, mutilate my nuts, and waterboard me for a long period of time, I think I'd say that I planned 9/11, that I smoked *****, that I killed JFK and Elvis, and that I have had sex with a donkey, and Lance Bass at the same time-- hell anything to make it stop.
Hell, just someone saying that they are going to mutilate my nuts would have me screaming to anything that they wanted me to scream to -- even if it were a lie!
And that, ladies and gentlemen is the reason that torture -- I mean "advanced interrogation techniques" -- are worthless in the end...how do you know if the person is telling you the truth, or just telling you what you want to hear? - Persian5Life, on 03/10/2009, -39/+132well when you constantly torture and abuse some one over and over again until they say what you want to hear i would think that they would start believing it.
- atexisthatbest, on 03/10/2009, -14/+71I wonder how many years of torture it took for them to realize that?
- Yage2006, on 03/10/2009, -11/+44Give me a car battery and 2 alligator clips and I'll make you say anything.
- tama00, on 03/10/2009, -4/+37I don't think it matters that 9/11 was planned or not, your government still used that event to its advantage.
- andywarthol, on 03/10/2009, -13/+40Any American-hating Muslim would LOVE to claim credit for 9/11. Ridiculous. Any Gitmo detainee'd rather be in court than to spend their remaining days getting their nuts fondled by closet ***** guards... Excuse me, I mean IRF team members.
- jamaph, on 03/10/2009, -2/+28"I'm ready to solve the puzzle"
"Skeptical"! - Frnnkdlxx, on 03/10/2009, -10/+32I would admit to anything if they stuck a glass tube up my dick and crushed it, then threatened to rape me with crowbars dripping acid... Oh, you didn't hear of the "stressful means of interrogating detainees" that they used?
Most of these people stated before their "interrogations" that they were not involved in any terror related events whatsoever, whereas a REAL terrorist admits it upfront and is sad he didn't kill more.
9/11? Inside job. You guys better get it through your brain that a smoke filled room has a fire in it somewhere. - DankBuddz, on 03/10/2009, -9/+30In other news, hundreds of women admitted to practicing witchcraft in Salem 300 years ago.
- Insightful, on 03/10/2009, -5/+26Dumbass. You know the third one in your example who spoke "the truth" will tell you whatever you want to hear right?
I will bet you money that after a few torture sessions, you will confess that "Christianptriot" is not your name but rather "IslamicInfdel".
Torture will make people say what you want to hear which is what makes it an unreliable intelligence rule.
If torture truly works, why do we not use it domestically against any one suspected of being child molesters, serial murders, suspects, or heck, speeding? - andywarthol, on 03/10/2009, -2/+23Word!
- nymphetamine, on 03/10/2009, -8/+29***** off.
- lendrick, on 03/10/2009, -10/+30"Five detainees at Guantanamo Bay charged with planning Sept. 11, 2001, attacks have filed a document accepting full responsibility and expressing pride in their accomplishment."
One can't help but wonder if this would have come out earlier, had these people been given a SPEEDY TRIAL, instead of left to rot in a Gulag for the past 7 years. At that point, we could have put them in jail for life or executed them with the legitimate moral authority to do so. - purplesawdust, on 03/10/2009, -4/+23Just playing the devils advocate here... What if they did plan 9/11?
- spazzm2008, on 03/10/2009, -11/+28They also admitted to being behind Exxon Valdez, the Hindenburg crash, the Reichstag fire, the sinking of the Titanic and the kidnapping of Helen of Troy.
- inactive, on 03/10/2009, -3/+20I gotta admit, LOLd pretty hard
- homercles337, on 03/10/2009, -7/+23Torture. Its a helluva drug.
- Shiftgood, on 03/11/2009, -4/+18the letter "p" apparently is less hated than the rest.. and i cant blame you guys... the letter "p" is pretty rad.
- cambob76, on 03/10/2009, -0/+14Don't forget the cable.
- theskillwithin, on 03/10/2009, -7/+21just like the economic crisis is being used to pass everything liberals have dreamed of.
- teemingvoid, on 03/10/2009, -0/+14my math teacher used to make us work out calc problems even if he knew we were off because, as he put it, "once you know you're right, you stop thinking." Just cuz a few people confessed, don't stop thinking about the attacks. There may be other answers
- DrCyclops, on 03/10/2009, -8/+22That's the problem with the whole secret prison/secret justice system. You can't be confident in its results. The public justice system exists for a reason, and while it has its own catalog of spectacular failures at least we can see where it goes wrong. A secret system operates on faith alone: faith that it will do the right thing. Faith is all you have, because you'll never know for sure.
Then again, that's how the last administration ran the whole country so we shouldn't be too surprised. - eobet, on 03/10/2009, -5/+17I can't believe people are digging down commenters who are expressing doubts about these confessions made after not months, but years of exhausting interrogations, water boarding and other forms of abuse. Why is it so difficult to imagine that without hard evidence, these confessions have zero credibility?
- kemp34, on 03/10/2009, -4/+16If they are so proud, why didn't they sign the confession papers 7 years ago?
- morcheeba, on 03/10/2009, -2/+14Exactly. There is no trial in sight for these people, and no possible release date. They've been given a life sentence of torture because an enemy turned them in for the reward money. No wonder they've been trying to kill themselves.

Now, don't get me wrong... I think there are some bad people in there. But, there are also a lot of innocent people in there, too. The point is we need trials to determine who is who and take the appropriate action. Too bad Bush screwed the pooch when he decided to taint the evidence by torturing confessions out of people. - Uthman, on 03/10/2009, -6/+17And you, sir, are straight up retarded.
- crocodilexp, on 03/10/2009, -2/+12... and that's why we're one of the few enlightened nations (along with Iran/North Korea/Sudan and such) that don't support the ICC.
War crimes are not something to be proud of. After all these years, you see how justified Vietnam war turned out to be? - Optiks, on 03/10/2009, -3/+13Absolutely. It's not like he 'fessed up to any of that 9/11 nonsense, or lopping off Daniel Pearl's noggin' on tape for the world to see before we got our hands on him anyway. We should just ignore all of those obviously false spontaneous confessions and instead concentrate on the 'coerced' ones instead.
- shinelikeitdoes, on 03/10/2009, -8/+17and it only took 9 years of torture!
- drobyo, on 03/10/2009, -6/+15Seriously? You think that after all this time, when the pressure is finally starting to ease off these guys, they just snapped, and confessed to something they didn't do? All five of them? They just CONFESSED.
- zyklon, on 03/10/2009, -3/+12Camp X-Ray was a temporary camp made out of plywood on dirt. The buildings were so hastily made, half fell down in the first year.
By buildings, I mean shacks.
But seriously, get your ***** straight, troll. - FredSpeaking, on 03/10/2009, -2/+11I dugg you up since your response is much more credible than those claiming the torture made them proudly boast about something they didn't do. However, this wouldn't be the first time someone took credit for something his peers would consider honorable (no matter how heinous we find it).
Either way, try them in a real court, so we can send them to a legit prison. - DankBuddz, on 03/10/2009, -3/+11Its straight up "you're ***** retarded and shallow". You think Liberals are dumb because you don't hold the cognitive ability to understand logic, so you assume its not a tortured confession because that's what you want to believe.
Pathetic. - Galphanore, on 03/10/2009, -0/+8You do realize that "Shut down Gitmo" and "Release all the Gitmo prisoners" are not the same things, right?
- casek, on 03/10/2009, -2/+10@ po5er
wow, man. i am almost ashamed to call myself a conservative...not because i am a conservative, but b/c people like you give it a bad name.
islam is bad? wtf?
no wonder the rest of the world hates us. we've got dumbasses like you running around spewing utter *****. - Galphanore, on 03/10/2009, -5/+13At this point it doesn't matter because they've been tortured for eight years, so nothing they say can be reasonably expected to be related to reality.
- truthseeds, on 03/10/2009, -5/+13Where's the evidence? There is zero (Zero...a good documentary on the subject BTW) evidence that these tortured men did the crime. But there is a tremendous amount of evidence of an inside / outside job by rogue individuals / groups. Qui bono? Who benefited?
- Uthman, on 03/10/2009, -7/+14Even hollywood movies don't take 8 years to produce. I Smell a setup.
- inactive, on 03/11/2009, -1/+8.... Execution is right after a losing trial, you guys need to think. Don't go out and execute anyone, that's ludicrous. But known murderers and terrorists need not to wait in jail.
- casek, on 03/10/2009, -1/+8when it is your childrens turn to be tortured, we'll see if you feel the same way.
- mbelrose, on 03/10/2009, -5/+12Just playing the Devil's advocate here: What if someone accused you of planning 9/11, and the government believed them?
- YouBeDaMan, on 03/11/2009, -2/+9Just playing the Devil's advocate here: What if someone accused the government of planning 9/11, and nobody believed them even though it was true?
- jessehadden, on 03/10/2009, -3/+10Isn't it an interesting state of affairs? in 2001, I would have believed this, and directed my anger accordingly. Now, I just wonder if it's a genuine confession, or one extracted to stop the pain of torture.
Credibility. If you Neo-Cons can't muster any compassion, then at the very least, recognize that torturing people does irreparable damage to your credibility. - mbelrose, on 03/10/2009, -0/+6I admit that I shot the Sheriff.
- inactive, on 03/11/2009, -0/+6Like what, hypnosis? That'd be an effective tool to convince them that they did it, though, all the more-so when combined with torture... the covert elite have made a very detailed science of their techniques for decades
- mbelrose, on 03/10/2009, -0/+6No, the Republicans losing the Presidency and both houses of Congress is what causes the Democrats to pass everything they dreamed of.
- specialK16, on 03/11/2009, -0/+6Rules of engagement....
You are one sick *****, Chrisitianptriot. I really hope you are just a troll... - DDRSkata, on 03/10/2009, -2/+81. A lot is two words. I hate to be "that guy," but that's one of my pet peeves.
2. Um, trial. - nepidae, on 03/10/2009, -1/+7WIN has a lot of meanings. One meaning of WIN is to kill/detain everyone on the planet except your own people.
- itsbob, on 03/10/2009, -0/+5No
