KSM: “I stole milk money”
Uncategorized - - Posted on March, 15 at 6:59 pm by Aussie Bob
All those unsolved terrorist crimes: Bali, the Israeli embassy bombings (including the surveillance of the Canberra embassy by Jack Roche), 9/11, the planned bombings of the Sears Tower and other second wave attacks in America, failed assassinations of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Pope John Paul II, the execution of Daniel Pearl, the setting-up of anthrax and other biological weapons laboratories and many more… in fact the entire gamut of all the crimes Bush, Howard, Blair, every neo-con journalist and all other crazies who put their two-bob’s worth into the “War on Terror” over the past five years, the lot… have been confessed to by Khalid Shiekh Mohommad at Guantanamo today.
It wasn’t in the article, but I reckon he kicked his dog too, and stole my milk money.
Pretty soon - give it a day or two - we’ll hear a cacophony of righteous justification from said planners of the war that they were right all along. There really is an evil terrorist mastermind after all, responsible for absolutely everything. See, all you lefties? You were wrong, wrong, wrong. Paul Kelly, laughingly-called “Editor At Large” of The Australian, might even get off his favourite subject - “Why I should decide who’s going to be Prime Minister” - and write a proper article. It’s going to be insufferable.
And of course Fishnets “Cry-Baby” Downer has already been on the tele telling us:
“I’m delighted he’s been captured and is in Guantanamo Bay, where he will face justice,“
Get it? The association of “delight”, “Guantanamo” and “justice”? Cop THAT David Hicks. There’s bucketfuls of justice for you at the Gitmo tribunals. KSM’s torture, incarceration and subsequent confession proves it (somehow).
But there’s always one sourpuss, isn’t there? As if to prick the up and coming bubble of self-sanctification from our Dear-Leaders-who-were-right-all-along, terrorism expert Clive Williams said of Khalid’s confession today:
“…after four years in secret CIA prisons, where he is said to have been subjected to harsh interrogation techniques, Mohammed’s confessions are ‘legally worthless’.”
In other words, they tortured him until the agony got so unbearable that he’d confess to anything and everything… and did.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer chap, and all that, but legally: not worth a pinch of shit (except at Guantanamo).
So I guess I’ll never know if it was those young punks from the Housing Commission flats up the road or KSM himself (after all he did confess to it, I think) who masterminded the theft of our milk money the year before last. I really was looking forward to closure on that one.

Oh we’ve been right all along about the Religion of Peace. It’s just that the adherents of the Doctrine of Peace can’t see what we can, no matter how bloody obvious it is

Think of Guantanamo as drawing out answers in a culturally sensitive manner eh Aussie? Strictly adults only of course.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:02 pm
It’s that laundry-list nature of it that immediately sounds kind of suss. Life is rarely so neat. Of course it could be true. The alternative to the theory of torture or brainwashing though might be the red herring strategy, ie. if you’re going down anyway, you might as well take as much of the rap for your jihadist brothers as you can. I dunno. Or he might just want to claim the credit for purely egotistical reasons.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
Rumour has it he confessed to planning Hurricane Katrina & Lady Di’s death too…this bloke makes THE JACKAL look like an amateur.
Wonderful timing for The Bush & Howard admins considering the FIRE they’re under. I imagine that just before the US 08 election the TALL GUY of the Bin Laden family will be found as stiff as a board in some attic in Pakistan.
Oh how Billy Bunter’s cheeks rosy up to these splendid moments in our Age of Coincidences.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:32 pm
Think of Guantanamo as drawing out answers in a culturally sensitive manner eh Aussie?
The problem, obs, is that “drawing out answers” (as you put it) by means of “aggressive interrogation” techniques means that there is a strong chance that the “answers” are worthless, given the likelihood that, in order to stop the interrogation, the subject will tell the interrogator whatever he thinks he wants to hear. After all, exactly what does KSM have to lose in this situation?
This is why thoughtful people have, for many decades now, opposed physical duress as an interrogation tool for reasons that have nought to do with pinko queasiness. It doesn’t work.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Did they get him to admit to sinking the Lusitania as well?
Anyway, since Khalid Shiekh Mohommad has confessed to being an evil mastermind AND he’s in custody, the WoT™ must be just about won. We can all stop worrying. Right?
March 15th, 2007 at 10:16 pm
Did he steal Azaria Chamberlain?
March 15th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
One things for sure,he didn’t nick my razor.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
And my favourite T-shirt went missing just before he was arrested. Bastard!

HEY! LOOK! There in his back-hair! Crop circles!

Shouldn’t laugh, but couldn’t help myself.
The madness is affecting us all.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:19 pm
“Guantanamo” The fucker should be in “Animal Quarantine” well at least until they work out what the fuck it is.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
Is that John Howard’s toupee he’s wearing? Is nothing safe?
March 16th, 2007 at 12:57 am
He kinda looks all humble and contrite like Saddam without his rifle or Dawood Muhammad without his RPG now don’t he? Say ahhh for the folks back home, there’s a good boy.
March 16th, 2007 at 1:05 am
Osama bin Laden is hiding in his chest hair. Phil
Well, that would explain why we ain’t been able to find him.
March 16th, 2007 at 8:39 am
C’mon! We’re not really trying…
Attaturk via Eschaton adds to the list:
March 16th, 2007 at 8:45 am
And they caught this terrorist Professor Moriarty in Pakistan … maybe he was on his way to Iraq, yeah that would still justify the war.
March 16th, 2007 at 8:53 am
See things aren’t so bad at Gitmo. They even allow internet access:
March 16th, 2007 at 8:58 am
JR’s murder solved.
March 16th, 2007 at 9:04 am
Why Carter and Clinton, both Democrats, and not Ronnie Raygunz and Bush41? Oh, I forgot, Sadaam already had that covered.
What a crock.
March 16th, 2007 at 9:51 am
Arsehole stole my favourite William Gibson book too, no doubt.
He’s also confessed to fathering Tim Blair, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin. We’re just waiting on the paternity tests for confirmation.
March 16th, 2007 at 9:54 am
HEY! This is brilliant! All we have to do is “persuade” him to confess to guarding that tank, and we can get David Hicks home! Hell, we can probably get that control order lifted from Jack Thomas too if he’ll confess to …
Oh wait, Jack Thomas was acquitted because of evidence obtained by torture. I guess we only accept coerced interrogations of people with funny names.
March 16th, 2007 at 10:37 am
Some more from the Australian blog on the subject:
I kidnapped Harold Holt;

What a crock of shit!This bastard was probably a Mexican border jumper who ended up in California as a cleaner or fruit picker.
What about an extra from “Get Smart”
Knowing as I do most law enforement agency’s couldn’t track a wounded elephant in the snow, Ummmmmmmmm.
The mind boggles.
March 16th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
I’d like to be able to say that we have the boy that is responsible for all Surfdom’s claims here, all safely tucked away in Gitmo, but I think you’re all confusing his exploits with that of an old Adelaide boy Noorpalat Abdullah
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20916466-662,00.html?from=public_rss
Yo’all remember Noorpalat don’t you? The first Aussie after Sept11 to go down for terrorism. You know the drill, closed court with no inhumane, long, drawn out court appeals mechanism, then straight into Solzhenitsyn’s old Gulag. Now why is it we don’t hear about poor old Noorpalat from the usual suspects one wonders? Perhaps he’s unlucky enough to be Mamdouh Habib’s cousin or something.
March 16th, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Besides, he must be innocent. He prayed at the same mosque as Dawood Muhammad. You know it makes sense.
March 16th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Or else he must be guilty because he was a muslim and prayed in the same mosque as David Hicks, convicted because captured, turrst eh obs?
I wonder when you are going to do some heavy lifting in defence of Western civilisation obs, and start the campaign yourself?
March 16th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
This explains all those missing socks.
March 16th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
Well, a few litres of petrol for our mower cost $8 yesterday…I guess GW BUSH & his oil cronies gained nothin’ out of 9/11, RIGHT?…hmmm…the only thing this KSM looks like he’d been planning was a raid on Pizza Hut & KFC.
March 16th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Who started the italics? It’s contagious.
Ah, that’s better.
March 16th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
KSM only confessed to all those things to cover his real crime - he was the second gunman on the grassy knoll!!
March 16th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
He was probably behind the great Jackson/Timberlake Superbowl Wardrobe Malfunction, too.
Has he been brought in for questioning about Bambi’s mother? And Cock Robin?
March 16th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Has anyone else noticed the uncanny resemblance between KSM and ’70s, um, genre film star Ron Jeremy? If they’re related, it could explain a great deal.
March 16th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Umm, Sir Bob, look the only reason I came on this blog was to ask you if you could buy more milk, that bloddy lot didn’t even raise a schooner, but now I’ll hang around as we “know who done it” right. There, closure….

That’s good that Khalid cracked and confessed.
Hopefully, he’ll be tried and executed within the next month or two.
March 17th, 2007 at 10:28 am
He was the shooter on the Grassy Knoll, the bloke who fed Marilyn Monroe those sleeping pills AND the guy responsible for “fixing” Princess Di’s car.
March 17th, 2007 at 11:21 am
Also prescribed those drugs to Elvis The King Presley, and sold him those hamburgers.

Yes, America’s very efficient at disposing of controversial characters before any REAL investigations can be done.
The Corporate Media is doing a grand job at hyping the Terrorism/Extreme Fundie stuff again…even attempting to discredit Al Gore & the “Global Warming is partially man-made” scientists:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle
I noticed they rushed news of the Channel 4 film onto SKY (bias as buggery) NEWS today…on their ECO REPORT of all things.
Seems to me it shows how desperate they are to keep coal & oil as the dominant energy source…& armaments as a major source of income & jobs.
As for me, I’m willing to look at different points of view, hear the debates, scrutinise the evidence (I find most Political Parties are driven by ideological bias & tend towards hyperbole & ‘fear’ campaigns)…but it seems to me that the Corporate run Neo-Cons & their enablers…& those ‘faux’ Soc Dems (often petrified to offend their Israeli Lobby Group mates & donors…& BIG BUSINESS interests) are taking us to the brink of INSANITY…what i refer to as HELLCLONE.
The Encirclement of China & Russia is an understandable strategic move…but is being done so clumsily & w/ so much hubris & lack of earnest diplomacy it poses a REAL risk of plunging the West into deep recession…if not conflict. Add the upcoming moves on Iran & Syria (we’ve almost reached the stroke of Midnight methinks) & you’ve got pandemonium. I respect many Americans & their ideas & inventions…but this lot at the helm now have demonstrated time & time again how grossly incompetent they are…& I just sense they’re gonna screw up BIG TIME again. The Russians will really benefit from this foolhardy move: oil prices will skyrocket…the Americans will be focused on more by the Islamics(hear Al-Sadr’s request to Iraqi Shiites “to resist the American occupation forces” today?) & Putin will be able to continue Russian expansionism & interference in nearby regions…& Russia will gain trade favorability w/ Nations ‘fed up to the back teeth’ w/ the Bush Admin…watching their old foe drain their resources, troops & go further into debt & internal strife.
And China…crikey, what an incentive for them to make a quick dash for the cash…& then some resources in the Straits of Japan & Taiwan, whilst the old Capitalist enemy is occupied…certainly will demonstrate to many Chinese that Democratic Capitalism is a farce.
It’ll all end in tears for the World if these Incompetent knee-jerkers & War-Mongers aren’t given the heave-ho soon.

Oh dear, oh my. It seems there’s a latte-sipping, chardonnay-socialist, bleeding-heart, tree-hugging, terrorist-loving, anti-American, feminazi, basket-weaving, chattering-class do-gooder (and ex-CIA field officer) over at Time magazine who isn’t convinced.
Why KSM’s Confession Rings False
By Robert Baer
Thursday 15 March 2007
It’s hard to tell what the Pentagon’s objective really is in releasing the transcript of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s confession. It certainly suggests the Administration is trying to blame KSM for al-Qaeda terrorism, leading us to believe we’ve caught the master terrorist and that al-Qaeda, and especially the ever-elusive bin Laden, is no longer a threat to the U.S.
But there is a major flaw in that marketing strategy. On the face of it, KSM, as he is known inside the government, comes across as boasting, at times mentally unstable. It’s also clear he is making things up. I’m told by people involved in the investigation that KSM was present during Wall Street Journal correspondent Danny Pearl’s execution but was in fact not the person who killed him. There exists videotape footage of the execution that minimizes KSM’s role. And if KSM did indeed exaggerate his role in the Pearl murder, it raises the question of just what else he has exaggerated, or outright fabricated.
Just as importantly, there is an absence of collateral evidence that would support KSM’s story. KSM claims he was “responsible for the 9/11 operation from A-Z.” Yet he has omitted details that would support his role. For instance, one of the more intriguing mysteries is who recruited and vetted the fifteen Saudi hijackers, the so-called “muscle.” The well-founded suspicion is that Qaeda was running a cell inside the Kingdom that spotted these young men and forwarded them to al-Qaeda. KSM and al-Qaeda often appear bumbling, but they would never have accepted recruits they couldn’t count on. KSM does not offer us an answer as to how this worked.
KSM has also not offered evidence of state support to al-Qaeda, though there is good evidence there was, even at a low level. KSM himself was harbored by a member of Qatar’s royal family after he was indicted in the U.S. for the Bojinka plot — a plan to bomb twelve American airplanes over the Pacific. KSM and al-Qaeda also received aid from supporters in Pakistan, quite possibly from sympathizers in the Pakistani intelligence service. KSM provides no details that would suggest we are getting the full story from him.
Although he claims to have been al-Qaeda’s foreign operations chief, he has offered no information about European networks. Today, dozens of investigations are going on in Great Britain surrounding the London tube bombings on July 7, 2005. Yet KSM apparently knew nothing about these networks or has not told his interrogators about them.
The fact is al-Qaeda is too smart to put all of its eggs in one basket. It has not and does not have a field commander, the role KSM has arrogated. It works on the basis of “weak links,” mounting terrorist operations by bringing in people on an ad hoc basis, and immediately disbanding the group afterwards.
Until we hear more, the mystery of who KSM is and what he was responsible for is still a mystery.
March 17th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Damn those pesky Truthseekers like Mars…& Robert Baer…those who have the tenacity to query the assertions of the grand poobahs of Patriotism, GW Chimp & his Bunch of Bonzos…
Pepe Escobar also thinks the Bush admin. is cutting the cheese in Guantanamo Bay in order to distract us from the floating debacle in the toilet known as Washington DC.

Not to mention the BIG FLOATER in Iraq.
March 17th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
“Yes, America’s very efficient at disposing of controversial characters before any REAL investigations can be done.”
Nasking,yes indeed!The Rosenberg’s is a stain on the U.S. judicial system that still haunts the memory of many.This was a classic case of how easy it is to whip up paranoia in a country,and put an irrational fear in a people of a certain race.Then it was the Russians, now it is the Muslims.
The comments of those on the right were no different in the sixty’s,if it wasn’t those damn hippy’s it was the Viet Cong.My God why are people so fucking dumb?I remember the Beatles at the height of their fame,the tory press in England and Australia at the time were predicting the end of civilization.It is not coincidence the same toady family’s then as now owned the media.
The narrative is always changing but the song remains the same it’s called bias,and the media in Australia has more bias than a wind jammer in a fucking hurricane,and why would it be anything else?It is the conservatives that pay them their daily mammon,and after all only a fool bites the hand that feeds them.
Who controls the media, controls the people, end of story.
March 17th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
Wow! that brings back memories Phill…so apt on your part. When I was a lad in the 60s I saw a show about poor Julius & Ethel, fried like eggs to keep the likes of McCarthy & his ilk happy…& instill FEAR thruout the Nation…sure they were probably guilty of believing in an ideology too much…the same SIN that drove Rove, Cheney et al to out a CIA agent (shoving the spy out of the cold & into the light)…traitors all…but would GW be as eager to sign the death warrant of his wily pals as he would the likes of the Rosenbergs?…or KSM?
It’s kinda scary how easily Chimpy & his cronies race to the KILL BUTTON…eager to send others off to do the ‘dirty deed’…kinda reminds me of the Bin Ladens of the World…reflections in a golden eye.
Who is the REAL ‘enemy of the State’?
lol…too freakin’ true. Hopefully they’ll all implode w/ self-importance (see Matt Price on Lateline last night?…HUBRIS extraordinaire!…even had to have a cheap dig at AUNTY, orders of THE BOSS I imagine)…
…we could use some fresh air.
March 17th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Has anyone asked him if he shot down Glenn Miller’s plane?
Seriously how could ANYONE blindly accept this transparent piece of toss given the flood of spin which has recently flowed out of brainWashington?
March 17th, 2007 at 5:17 pm
“Has anyone asked him if he shot down Glenn Miller’s plane?”
No,that was me,there are two things I hate in this world and Glen Millers music is both of them.Swing,holy jesus what shite.Just an opinion mind.
“but would GW be as eager to sign the death warrant of his wily pals as he would the likes of the Rosenbergs?…or KSM?”
Probably.You know I hope to sweet Jesus this man doesn’t cause WW3 before he leaves the Whitehouse,but of course he is going straight to heaven in the rapture so I reckon it wont worry him to much.
Every time I see this man I think of of all the intelligent people in the U.S. how did they end up with a retard like Bush as President?. And after all that has transpired, both party’s are going to put up another coterie of dunces for the people to choose from!the mind boggles!.
March 17th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
“Every time I see this man I think of of all the intelligent people in the U.S. how did they end up with a retard like Bush…”
Okay, this might seem a bit harsh:
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
~H. L. Mencken
March 17th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
“Okay, this might seem a bit harsh:”
No,you are correct we deserve the current shower of bastards.
March 17th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
HL Mencken can always be counted on to supply a razor sharp, lethally prescient, and usually hilarious quote.
Where are the Menckens and Hunter S. Thompsons and Tom Lehrers of this world when you really need them?
March 17th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
“Julius & Ethel, fried like eggs”
Good.
Khalid will hopefully recieve similar treatment soonest.
Frying commie traitors or terrorists is a service to humanity.
March 17th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
“recieve”
Jesus wept Dave,you crucify me for spelling mistakes adnauseam, and you go and do it again.
Now repeat after Phil, I before E except after C now wasn’t that easy ?.
March 17th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
Oh and Dave,please go away.
March 17th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
Agreed.
March 17th, 2007 at 8:26 pm
Seeker you got the wheels rolling here…& Phill’s RAPTURE comment adds a nice string to tie it all up:
(Source: Hunter S. Thompson: Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas)
Yep, that’s GW Bush in later years, back to his old ways, waitin’ for the REWARD of Afterlife…the comin’ of THE RAPTURE…methinks he’s gonna get screwed…that elevator is a one way trip to Dante’s place.
March 17th, 2007 at 9:48 pm
Nasking: ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ is one of the finest pieces of dark humour ever written. Though I grant it is not to everyone’s taste.
Have you read ‘The Great Shark Hunt’, and ‘Hells Angels’? Brilliant stuff. I haven’t read ‘Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail’, but it is on the must-read list.
Thompson’s work was a bit erratic and scatty at times, and let’s be honest, his later work was mostly crap, sometime around the late 70s he just ran out of steam. But when he was firing on all cylinders, from the about the mid-60s to the mid-70s, there wasn’t a writer-journalist alive who could come close to him. He has earned his place in history.
March 18th, 2007 at 12:39 am
Sections of ‘Hells Angels’…he was certainly an interesting, somewhat contentious character. I respected his uniqueness…& ability to artfully articulate peculiar situations…& survive them…:)
Few of his ilk around these days…tho I get a feeling the blogs might be breeding a few…
fingers crossed.
March 18th, 2007 at 2:00 am
“…tho I get a feeling the blogs might be breeding a few…”
I think you might be right there. I hope so.
March 18th, 2007 at 6:03 am
“It’s that laundry-list nature of it that immediately sounds kind of suss.”
Crap. There isn’t anything the least bit implausible about Khalid being involved in planning thirty or so not too elaborate terror attacks over a dozen years.
March 19th, 2007 at 1:00 am
Go away Dave. He was obviously an extremely unsavoury character, but he didn’t do all those things he confessed to. They shopped around for anyone who had a gripe and just added them to the list.
His claiming of responsibility for the Israeli embassy stake out was the bit that convinced me. Jack Roche driving around Canberra taking pikkies of embassies would be a sub-sub-sub-operation to someone who claimed to have planned 9/11.
Little Johnny really does think we are more important than we really are. When he was asked by the Yanks what he wanted added to KSMs mea culpa, he just couldn’t help himself. Then and there I knew large parts of the confession were trumped up.
