I think the other five defendants, at least most of them, were tortured as well.
By the way, I have ZERO confidence that the right people are in custody here. I mean, how are we to trust the "evidence" gathered from ANY of these suspects?

I mean, a few hundred billion here, a few hundred billion there, a million casualties, a destabilized world political order, our precious Patriotic Act, our comforting Fatherland, I mean Homeland Security monolith, our uninvestigated War Criminal administration and their ties to Al CIAda, Enron, DuBai's new Halliburton... ahh, Mission Accomplished, but not one conviction for "Terrorism".

Isn't Fascism Great?

...the Algerian, what's-his-name, Zacharias Moussaoui or something? That brought the number of Saudis to (as Bush put it) "just" 15. So now we got Number 16, alQuatar or something, a SAUDI. That makes 16 SAUDIS.

I looked Iraq up on the map. It shows a common border with Saudi Arabia and the Kirkuk oilfield does seem to also border Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Royal Family, are fast family AND business partners of the Bush family. NOT of Americans--one of Prince Bandar (bin Sultan al Abdul-Aziz, if I get the creep's whole name right, and who cares--)'s wives PAID FOR 9/11. Bandar is now Oil Minister I believe. Bandar is a SAUDI. My point?

SAUDIS planned, did the 'heavy lifting' and CARRIED OUT 9/11. These are BUSH FRIENDS.

The IRAQIS--who Bush/Cheney LIED US INTO INVADING ON THE SPURIOUS CHARGE AMONG OTHER LIES, THAT SADDAM WAS INVOLVED IN 9/11--had absolutely zilch and zero to do with 9/11. Yet BushCo, cynically realizing that (alas!) most Americans 1) couldn't tell one Arab from another even if the latter were wrapped around with their respective countries' flags--and, 2) that we still trusted BushCo, who had miles and miles of lies yet to go before we woke up to the criminal sleazebags who'd grabbed our Government (not once, but TWICE!)--BushCo in fact blamed Saddam for 9/11, and we trusting souls who still thought of Bush as an American (and a few of us who even after his machinations v/v the 2000 elections became known, STILL thought of him as our actual president!!!!), bought his lies hook, line and sinker, just in time to hear him call on his 'fellow Americans' to invade--NOT the architects of 9/11--but their deadly enemies THE IRAQI PEOPLE!!!

(How do I know all this? My uncle, deceased these many years, was a rug dealer for a major NY Department store, and each year spent 6 weeks to 2 months traveling the whole Middle East, getting to know who was who in the rug trade, who to say with and WHO TO AVOID, etc--and passed his knowledge onto his whole large family. So that we ALL knew that Bush was lying when he FIRST opened his mouth after 9/11, and fingered Saddam for that).

That alone is reason enough to 1) GET OUT OF IRAQ, and 2) NUKE RIYADH--and in the meantime, tell Prince Abdullah or whoever runs the Aramco cartel now, that, no, Bush won't be giving him the smart-bomb technology he's been wanting for so long, since Bush is gonna be impeached along with all the Senators who have been spending their time--not on America's business, but strictly on protecting this crook and his cohorts in the White House.

Not in a perfect world--just, in a halfway decent one--just, in the America that we USED to be before our enemies made "LIBERAL" and "DEMOCRATIC" into dirty words (Wait till THEY see what WE do with "NeoCON!")--just, in the America that was, where we hit OUR ENEMIES and NOT THEIR ENEMIES. There's an Arab proverb to that effect--the Arabs must be laughing every time they think of how dumb we were to EVER have listened to that bred-in-the-womb LIAR, Bush, and his sidekick, "I had 'other priorities' than the Vietnam War, so I never did learn how to shoot even a shotgun, so if you come hunting with me you do so at your peril..." Dirty Dick (aka Shotgun) Cheney. So far, however, they both look to get away with their crimes. It seems that We the American People, only impeach those who lie to us about their sex lives. Every OTHER crime--that's OK. So--we get what we deserve.

and Bush's show trials in Guantanamo. We should all reread or read Darkness at Noon and 1984.
