You know, you people who laugh and scoff at the truth are just fooling yourselves. This stuff is "for real." I just hope you wake up before it's too late for you and your loved ones.

Kathy, Wiley Ford, USA

looks like the only thing they left outta the brainwashing was plots to steal candy from kids HAHAHAHA

I believe all of this.. it wouldnt add up to have 1 target and not others...

He kidnapped the Limburgh Baby and blew up the Hindenburg blimp too

I also heard he confessed to the killings of JFK and Vince Foster, admitted to be being Al Gore's ghost writer, said he has been feeding psychoactive drugs to Mel Gibson for several years, and may be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby.

Wow is right.

Ron, Camp Verde, AZ/USA

I wonder how many times his arm was twisted or his pain threshold was tested before he "confessed".

Cyn, Seattle, Wa

I am suprised he didn't confess to the JFK assassination.

Mike, San Francisco,

I think all this would have been too much even for Dr Evil

Mick, Auckland,

I wonder what kind of deal was made with him to get this much information. I agree with Alex in London.

JoAnn Hodge, Baltimore, USA/MD

Wow. So after being held in detention for nearly 4 years, he decides to spill the beans on 30 plots!! Why, when he knows there is no chance of ever being released?

Let's not forget torture is no legal in the US. When Mr. Mohammed was asked if he was tortured at Guantanamo, the Pentagon blacked out his answer!

As I have said before, this confession does nothing to subvert the overwhelming evidence of complicity and involvement by factions of the US government, reaching across the pentagon, CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies. Read Tarpley's 'Synthetic Terror', watch 'The Truth and Lies of 911' and '911 Press for Truth'. Forget 'Loose Change' and 'In Plane Site,' two highly flawed accounts of 911.

And if you can disprove the authenticity of anything in 'The truth and lies of 911' you can pick up a quick $1000. Go for it! (Find the video at google video.)

Next he'll say he shot Kennedy, too. This report is extremely specific. Perhaps the mastermind is sending a complete message to all of his minions to go out and perform the very actions he failed to accomplish. I also notice that they made several typographic errors. (sarcasm) Wonderful reporting, Times!!! (end sarcasm)

Elwanda, Jersey by way of Houston, US and A

No smoke without fire.

Alan, London,

too many confessions for a "mastermind".not convinced.

Alex, London,

Have your say
