I agree, but the leaked document contains more than just information he confessed. It might not be accurate, and/or maybe all of the other al-Qaeda leaders who named him as an associate were also coerced into confessing that, but it's a much more complicated story than what's written in this article.
- beerandt 7y agoHaving seen the document, it was also interesting to me to read the article again. I might be over-analyzing, but he seems to have chosen his words very carefully: he claims he's a "nobody" and was "minding [his] own business" when he was captured. He says he was bountied as someone else. He plays up the torture, deservingly, but he doesn't really proclaim his innocence. At least not to the extent I would be, were it me. Maybe he's denied his guilt differently in the past, but the article's wording looks suspiciously to me like dancing around a lie. I'm trying to remain objective, but I'm starting to get that bitterness felt once you realized you've been intentionally fooled. Still, everyone deserves due process.
