Canadian Newsflash: Pol Pot Was Cruel to Animals
One of the unfortunate consequences of having investments up in Canada is that I feel I have to read the dreadful Canadian newspapers. Everyday the National Post and the Globe and Mail have become part of my ritual. I might as well pour hot coffee on my lap every morning. Today is just a small example. Check out the G&M's headline of its top item, and the lead in...
"Suspected 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to the beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl and was central to 30 other attacks and plots in the United States and worldwide that killed thousands of victims, said a revised transcript released Thursday by the U.S. military."
KSM beheaded Daniel Pearl. That's terrible to be sure. But didn't he do something else? Didn't he admit to something a little more ambitious? And wouldn't admitting to such merit the removal of the label "suspected"?
Alas, it seems that KSM admitted to these acts under torture. No doubt he was forced to read the National Post and Globe & Mail morning, noon and night. A man will confess to anything under such circumstances.
