9/11 defendants: 'We are terrorists to the bone'
By BEN FOX • Associated Press • March 10, 2009


SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks mock U.S. authorities and proclaim themselves “terrorists to the bone” in a war crimes court filing released today.

The five Guantanamo prisoners use the six-page document to try to justify the killing of nearly 3,000 people, portraying the attack as a response to U.S. actions in Israel, Iraq and elsewhere that is supported by their Muslim faith.

“We fight you over defending Muslims, their land, their holy sites, and their religion as a whole,” they write in the document, which was submitted to the Guantanamo war crimes court and released by the Pentagon, in English, over the objections of attorneys for two of the men.

The five had previously said they wanted to plead guilty to the charges against them, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind, had expressed pride in the attacks. But this is their most detailed response yet.

.....(snip).....

“We are terrorists to the bone. So, many thanks to God,” they write. .........(more)

2. And it only took five days of waterboarding
and several razor cuts to the testicles for this 'confession.'

Read with great skepticism.

3. They must have excellent English classes in Guantanamo.
“Based on our review of the unsigned, English and typed document there is no evidence that either Mr. Binalshibh or Mr. al-Hawsawi knew about, read, or signed this document,” they said in a statement e-mailed to the Associated Press.
