(CBS/AP) Suspected Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to the beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl and a central role in 30 other attacks and plots in the U.S. and worldwide that killed thousands of victims, said a revised transcript released Thursday by the U.S. military.
"I decapitated with my blessed right hand the head of the American Jew, Daniel Pearl, in the city of Karachi, Pakistan," Mohammed is quoted as saying in a transcript of a military hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, released by the Defense Department.
"For those who would like to confirm, there are pictures of me on the Internet holding his head," he added.
Mohammed's claimed involvement in the 2002 slaying of the Wall Street Journal reporter was among 31 attacks and plots � some of which never came to fruition � he took responsibility for in a hearing Saturday at the U.S. naval prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Pentagon said.
It released the bulk of the transcript late Wednesday, but held back the section about Pearl's killing to allow time for his family to be notified, said Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman.
U.S. military transcripts of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confessions.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that it had learned that the transcripts released Wednesday evening had blacked out the reference to Mohammed's confession about the Pearl slaying. Pearl was abducted in January 2002 in Pakistan while researching a story on Islamic militancy. Mohammed has long been a suspect in the slaying, which was captured on video.
Sealing a legacy of historical notoriety, Mohammed portrayed himself as al Qaeda's most ambitious operational planner in a confession to a U.S. military tribunal.
The Guantanamo Bay hearing, known as a Combatant Status Review Tribunal, is a formality allowing the military to certify a detainee as an "enemy combatant" who warrants further detention and can be prosecuted by a military tribunal. In Mohammed's case, the prisoner made matters quite simple. "For sure, I'm American enemies," he said. "I don't have anything to say that I'm not enemy," reports CBS Evening News producer Phil Hirshkorn.
Mohammed�s language offers what CBS news consultant Paul Kurtz says is a fascinating insight into the mastermind behind Sept. 11.
"He is a warrior, and he's taking on his enemy the way he sees fit," Kurtz tells CBS News national security correspondent David Martin. "He's sorry about losing 3,000 people over the World Trade Center attacks. Nonetheless, this is the language of war. He says that several times in the transcript."
Many plots, including a previously undisclosed plan to kill several former U.S. presidents, were never carried out or were foiled by international counterterrorism authorities.
"I was responsible for the 9/11 operation from A to Z," Mohammed said in a statement read Saturday during a Combatant Status Review Tribunal at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Mohammed's confession was read by a member of the U.S. military who is serving as his personal representative. |
I'm not buying this over simplified explanation of 911.

Let me guess: You're not buying it because there is no mention of Jews not showing up to work or that the buildings were demolished from within or, better yet, the eeeeeevil Bushie didn't mastermind it himself. I bet I'm close... |

Why do you keep saying Evil Bush, there wannago? Bush can't mastermind anything. He's just a front man.
Anyway, this is a double post, and yes, Americans will soak it up and will sleep safer at night. |

As will Canadians as they sleep safer under the umbrella of protection that the U.S. provides for them. |

Beheaded Danny Pearl? Sure.
Was likely one of the grassy-knoll gunmen, Jon Benet Ramsey's real killer as well etc etc.
In fact, while we're busy tieing up lose ends, lets pin as much unresolved bad-assed crap as we can on the guy. |

| I don't think any sane person could honestly buy it. They may pretend to do so however, because they see the futility in trying to argue otherwise. |

Sorry there wannago, the U.S. has not shown itself to be safe and history has shown clearly how it sat on its big l---- while the truely brave came up to bat. There was that one general that said that if Canada doesn't join the MDS, and that if a misile was heading towards Canada, then maybe the U.S. wouldn't shoot it down. But he was American, and that says a lot. How could he be so sure that the misile wasn't set on a U.S. target? The stupid things some people say.
Thankfully, many in the world don't live in such fear. |

You don't need to apologize to me because of your distorted sense of reality. Hey, you're a socialist so I guess being a fan of revisionist "history" is right up your alley. History has shown no such thing as you claim. Now, perhaps the U.S. might not shoot down a missile heading toward Canada, but not because it couldn't.
Enjoy life in la la land, pal. |

wannago, you have really lost it. Never have been your pal.
Nothing wrong with my history. ANd let me guess, you leaned history in America, right. Ha, now that's a joke. Sure seems like you don't like it when the truth flies in your face, now do, ya? Two years the U.S. sat back and sat back, and you want others to think that you'd be there for us? Right. Now go back to your land of the free and home of the brave. Go on now. It's just a dream of yours, or just a fallacy.
If you have a problem with history, show me the dates of WWI and WWII and then show the dates of when the U.S. entered. And again you say you are protecting who? Just another trolling moron. |

If you were this guy, and you were facing certain death no matter what you did or didn't confess to, plus you have the attention of the international media, why wouldn't you take credit for anything you could?
America should be skeptical of this guy, not because 9/11 was a hoax, but because this guy has nothing to lose and every reason to exaggerate his role in any terrorist act. This administration has been happy to take the credit for catching terrorists who aren't nearly as important as they claim. This serves the terrorists nicely: allows them to hold up guys like KSM as heroes while lowering American credibility. |
