9/11 Plotters: 'Blame Yourselves,' 'Your Failed Intelligence Apparatus'

2009_03_sheikh.jpg The five men, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, suspected of carrying out the 9/11 attacks issued a written statement calling the conspiracy charge "laughable." The Wall Street Journal reports, "The six-page statement, dated March 1, was filed with a military judge at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in response to nine charges filed by military prosecutors last year." Here's a PDF; some highlights: "Were you expecting us to inform you about our secret attack plans? Blame yourselves and your failed intelligence apparatus and hold them accountable, not us... Also, as the prophet has stated: 'War is to deceive.'" They also bring up the toll of civilian deaths the U.S. caused in World War II, "Did you forget about your nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?"

    more efficient "inside job" to destroy the USA than W's?

    Cut this prick up, stuff the bodyparts in a dead pig and FedEx it to Al Jazeera.

    "Blame yourselves and your failed intelligence apparatus and hold them accountable"



    Unfortunately, there's some truth in this statement.

  • AnonIdiot

    Wow. Those 9-11 "inside job" conspiracy theorists are going to be pissed when they read these guys taking all the credit.

    “I believe the [9/11] Commission failed to deeply examine the topic at hand, failed to apply scientific rigor to its assessment of events leading up to and including 9/11, failed to produce a believable and unbiased summary of what happened, failed to fully examine why it happened, and even failed to include a set of unanswered questions for future research.”

    - Pentagon eye-witness and former member of the staff of the Director of the National Security Agency, Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret).



    “A lot of these pieces of information, taken together, prove that the official story, the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 is a bunch of hogwash. It’s impossible,” said Lt. Col. Robert Bowman, PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret).



    "I'm astounded that the conspiracy theory advanced by the administration could in fact be true and the evidence does not seem to suggest that that's accurate. That's true. After 4+ years of research since retirement in 2002, I am 100% convinced that the attacks of September 11, 2001 were planned, organized, and committed by treasonous perpetrators that have infiltrated the highest levels of our government."

    - Lt. Col. Guy S. Razer, MS, U.S. Air Force (ret)

    Note that all these assholes are light Col.s Does that signal a connection in your brain?

  • jaycjay

    That they're not structural engineers or architects, so their opinions on what might cause a building to fall is no more valid than that of the guy who just delivered a pizza to my house?

  • Clarice City

    Would someone please wrap that yucky old man beard of his around his mouth for a while?

  • NannyState

    Word is that Israel has a big one targeted right at the Ka'aba itself. Not that anyone in, say, McLean Virginia would know about that.

  • Snoopy

    Only Israel would have the balls to do it. With some air support from some unknowns not to be mentioned. GO FOR IT!



    Oh so sorry 100 million innocents were killed. Tough shit. Half of them were women that were living in hell to begin with.

    Perhaps a few nukes around the holy site of Mecca might awaken the fear in them. It worked in Japan. A nation that was living in a feudal state of mind, worshiping a god king. Perhaps a little "bring them up to date" jolt might make them aware they aren't fucking with a bunch of knights on their last crusade. So how many would be killed 8, 100 million? big deal. no loss of human life.

  • Gregoire

    Sounds a bit like "He ran into my knife! He ran into my knife ten times!"

  • books

    I hope people will read the source and hear what the enemy is fighting for and not accept blindly what our media tells us they are fighting for.



    these people will be executed as well they should be, but we should also reconize that our forgein policy made these criminals.

  • glennQNYC

    I'd be laughing too if I were KSM... Obama won't do shit to these assholes.

  • non_sequitur

    Stupid Americans with your trials and due process...

  • fugothamist

    the terrorists win

    Next map is 'dust'.
