1. I was responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center Operation.The emphasis was added to make a point--he said the "Shoe Bomb operation" was designed to bring down two airliners. All we've been told about was Richard Reid's botched attempt. It appears he may be trying to take credit for the downing of American flight 587, which crashed into Long Island in November 2001. The NTSB chalked it up to "pilot error" after he supposedly overtaxed the vertical stablizer after experiencing wake turbulence upon takeoff from JFK, which is turn caused the tail fin to fall off. More on that shortly.
2. I was responsible for the 9/11 Operation, from A to Z.
3. [REDACTED]
4. I was responsible for the Shoe Bomber Operation to down two American airplanes.
Take a look at number 3--it was completely redacted. Although the entire list was not in chronological order, most of the first few events were. If indeed he was going in chronological order early on, we must ask ourselves what calamitous event took place directly following 9/11 but preceding the shoe bomb event(s)? Think hard.
As to AA 587, I've spoken to a few pilots (including a jumbo jet rated captain) and they've had no trouble believing that overuse of the rudder pedals could cause the crash. This was indicated in the Flight Data Recorder and is not a point of contention. However, a bomb exploding immediately before such actions were taken could explain some things. It was never conclusively proven that he ran across the "wake turbulence" from the prior aircraft with certainty, an event which would have triggered his harsh reaction.
But we must keep in mind one thing with any of this testimony--during Moussaoui's trial he categorically stated, "it's permitted to lie for Jihad" (KSM himself added murder to that list as well) so his bragging is not automatic evidence he committed acts we consider accidents. Terrorists have long been known for taking credit with everything short of the morning sunrise to bolster their causes.
Speaking of which, his predictable laundry list of grievances were designed to impress the impressionable along with the MSM and Democratic far left. Ironically, he didn't seem to understand that virtually no other political system in the world would allow an admitted criminal to bloviate in such a fashion and spittle out a personal manifesto after the acts he's committed. Certainly his Utopian Sharia world would never permit such a thing. In that same vein I look forward to the comments to come from Huffington Post and Kos.

THE PUSH BACK 3/15/07
Has begun. Sure, KSM might have exaggerated his role in that he didn't personally take part in all the attacks, but nor did bin Laden or Zawahiri, and most folks don't seem to diminish their significance. Perhaps they would start if we caught them?
The interesting angle here is the purported torture, whereupon the media has already begun to trot out legal experts to claim such a thing diminishes any confession he's made. It's probably going to be successful. In a few days he'll be forgotten, and we'll be full steam ahead on the fired attorneys.
I'll leave you with a comment from a commenter on the HuffPo. It's nasty, so I'm redacting the bad words, but you can visit yourself and verify. BTW, she's made it difficult to get to the comments now, you have to dig a little:
Its all bullshXX. The brainwashing at Gitmo is working great. The true evil fXXXing bXXtXrds reside in the White House. Execute those swine and the USA might have a chance to be a great country.I've screen capped that one for posterity just in case it goes away.
