"Mohammed was arrested on March 1, 2003, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, by Pakistani security officials working with the CIA, then transported to Guantanamo Bay and interrogated using methods including waterboarding.
During U.S. hearings at Guantanamo Bay in March 2007, Mohammed again confessed his responsibility for the attacks, stating he "was responsible for the 9/11 operation from A to Z" and that his statement was not made under duress."

Why do you think this guy would admit it?
Just fyi, this dude is a terrible person, nobody is arguing that. He absolutely deserves to die, this coming from one of the most liberal members of this forum and an opponent of capital punishment.
Having said that, how are we to know for sure he was the architect of 9/11? Because he says he is?.. How much intel do we dismiss on that basis daily? Gigs I'm guessing.. so why do we simply take his (and by proxy, the US gov's) word for it?
Eerily enough, I'm not even sure 100% this dude is actually responsible for the things our gov. says he is. In the Nick Berg beheading video, which he's officially held responsible for, the man doing the beheading is masked, I've never seen his face, I simply assume what my government has told me is the truth, which is again, highly suspect..
So having said that, how do we here in the west even know if this dude isn't some random Iraqi made to take the fall? I haven't really looked into any of the specifics so I'm fully aware I could be totally wrong about it, it just makes me uncomfortable to take an organization's word for it, when we know for a fact said organization has lied to us in the past to support it's own agenda..
So why do you think KSM would admit to being the architect? What does he serve to gain from it? He knows he'll be executed for it, do you believe martyrdom is enough?
