Background on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh

Back in 2002 and 2003, largely due to their relevance to the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui and their captivity in overseas secret prisons where they likely were tortured, I wrote many, many posts about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh.

All of the posts are accessible here:

In addition to the alleged torture of Khalid, the CIA also kidnapped his young sons and flew them to America to talk. My criticism of that is here. The U.S. gave a denial, but it didn't fit. The Associated Press reported on Khalid's statements to interrogators back in 2003. Here is the summary of Khalid's debriefing introduced at the Moussaoui trial. (Analysis here.)Time Magazine profiled Khalid in 2003. ABC reported on the torture techniques as described by CIA officers. The New York Times reported on the techniques used on Khalid (described here.) In 2004, the Washington Post reported on the conflicts between what Khalid and Binalshibh were telling them.

    has confessed to personally beheading Daniel Peral.

    Plus 9/11 and about 30 more acts of terrorists.

    Gun? Rope? Needle?

    I vote for the rope.

    Iraq & Mid-East Debacle has caused the deaths of nearly one million Iraqis and the crippling, blinding, burning, poisoning and maiming of tens of thousands of US Soldiers, for which neither he - nor any of his supporters - have taken any responsibility for to date, much less confessed. And for which there is overwhelming evidence that would convict in any court of law - not just in a kangaroo tribunal.

    You vote for the rope?

    Your continual excusing of everyone attacking us by attacking the country, and Bush, is not new, and not even surprising anymore.

    I could point out any number of things to you, and about you, but I will limit myself:

    1. You have said you will not fight. Do you think it is proper for you to depend on others to defend you from people such as this monster.

    2. And if you do, please explain why. I am sure the widows, children and families of our dead would appreciate understand your position.

    Have a nice day.

    it's called "lynching", and it's right up your street.

    This policy of yours of mindless violence is not even practical, never mind ethical.

    What a crock, Al.

    Please show me where I have said we should lynch anyone.

    You, of course, cannot, because I have not. You have no civility, no respect for others, no ability to debate, so you just make a truly nasty ad hominem.

    Have a nice day. You are truly the poster child of many on the Left.

    I think you  have used the less loaded term: hang them.  Both have  the same connotation comming from you.

    Nonsense. You are the one who condemns people. Need I remind you what you said about Rove's Grandparents?

    And even about Rove??

    Let us face facts. It is diff
