KSM and the missing 2nd shoe bomber
In the recent military tribunal hearing on his combatant status, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed owned up to 29 separate acts of terror in which he served, at the very least, as "responsible participant." Some such acts, Sept. 11 for instance, he claimed to have successfully masterminded and executed.
Others he helped plan but, happily, did not manage to pull off. These include schemes to destroy the Sears Tower in Chicago, the New York Stock Exchange and the Panama Canal as well as plots to assassinate Pope John Paul II and Presidents Clinton and Carter.
It is likely that KSM has inflated his role in many of these events, but just as likely that he was at least involved.
The Department of Defense does not edit a word out of 28 of the 29 acts that KSM listed. But one act, No. 3 in KSM's line-up, the DOD originally redacted entirely.
