We Have a Confession! Yeah, right!
A chap being held in Guantanamo Bay has allegedly confessed to being the biggest baddy in the world and being behind the attacks on America and many more, coming soon to a paranoiafest near you! He made this momentous confession in a secret hearing, from which journalists and lawyers were excluded. In other words, it was just him and his captors at a hearing to decide whether his captors were right to keep him caged in inhuman conditions. Apparently, they were right and will continue to do so.
Now, I realise that Bush's regime is a bit wary of letting any justice sneak into the prison system, but I do hope they are not so incredibly stupid as to believe that the world is stupid enough to believe that a man imprisoned and tortured, when faced with his torturers and no other witnesses is going to say anything other than what they tell him to say.
If this man is indeed eager to confess, let him do it in front of unbiased observers, so we can all know that he didn't scream his confession as they beat him. Otherwise, his confession isn't worth the paper it was scripted on. Incidentally, if he's supposed to be an Arab, why use the very American expression, "From A to Z" in his confession. Did the author of his confession not understand that Arabic has its own, very beautiful alphabet?
Well, sorry chaps. I don't believe Elvis is grilling burgers. I don't believe NASA faked the moon landings. I don't believe Dr David Kelly ambushed himself in the woods and killed himself. I don't believe there were WMDs in Iraq and I don't believe that this confession is genuine.
