The self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks and his four co-defendants have asked a judge at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to curtail efforts by defense attorneys and allow them to make immediate confessions, the judge revealed Monday.If St Barack is about to cut all these guys loose... why on earth would they be planning to give it all up?
U.S. Army Col. Steven Henley said he received a written letter from the five men saying they planned to discontinue filing motions to the court and wanted, instead, to be allowed to make full confessions.
Henley proceeded to speak to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has said he planned the Sept. 11 attacks, and the other defendants to see if they understand the potential impact of their request. Each defendant is facing the death penalty.This'll be interesting.
Mohammed and three of his co-defendants said they agreed with the letter. The last defendant was awaiting questioning by the judge.
