Rosie O’Donnell is still convinced George Bush and Dick Cheney did it. These four jihadists, however, are apparently ready to trade the Troof for the truth : Five men charged with plotting the Sept. 11 attacks say they are ready to make confessions. The military judge assigned to their war-crimes trial at Guantanamo Bay read aloud a letter in which the five co-defendants said they “request an immediate hearing session to announce our confessions.” Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has already told interrogators he was the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. Now he’s telling the judge ...

Five jihadists are planning on confessing to masterminding the 9-11 attacks , but somehow I don't think the Troof Squad will be satisifed. In an about-face that appeared to take the court by complete surprise, the five men announced they were abandoning their attempts to mount a vigorous defense and instead requested "an immediate hearing session to announce our confessions." However, that didn't mean they had repented. "I reaffirm my allegiance to Osama bin Laden," Ramzi Binalshibh blurted out in Arabic at the end of the hearing. "I hope the jihad continues and I hope it hits ...

Consider this reaction, from one of the family members: ...
