It was just crazy… sitting maybe 20 yards away from KSM.   It’s clear today that the five defendants are aware, at some level, that the intention is to close Guantanamo Bay.  On Nov. 4, the five defendants  met for a so-called strategy session.  Who knew five of the worlds most despised terrorists could meet in this way??

After this meeting, right around the election, the defendants decided to write to the military commissions, telling them they want to enter their “confessions.”  There are a number of possible reasons, but the one that makes the most sense to me is that they are trying to fast track their deaths.  By telling the court they want to enter “confessions,” they are suggesting they want to be martyrs for Al Qaeda?

When the time came to enter the pleas, KSM asked if the death penalty would be in play.  The judge said he didn’t know the answer, and it was then that KSM said he would “postpone” his plea until the mental competency of two defendants is determined.  This was just an excuse.  And more evidence he wants to die.

Should the military commissions allow a self-confessed terrorist to manipulate our system so that he can be a martyr??

(The pleas were not entered today, because the judge wants to know, IF he accepts the pleas, will the death penalty still be in play.)
