So the LA Times has some good coverage of the Gitmo trials of KSM and fellow suspected 9-11 co-conspirators.

These guys are ready 2 die. Thug Life. In no surprise, to me at least, they are fairly thrilled to be sent to the great beyond as payment for their Jihad duties.

Clearly the trials are a bit one-sided, as has been covered a number of places, but I wonder, if they continue at the same pace, whether the US will really have won. These guys are coming off as so COOL. They are relaxed, patronizing and verbose, if not down right clever.

One thing that stood out to me was, what I believe is, a pun from KSM’s nephew:

“The government is talking about lawyers free of charge. The government also tortured me free of charge all these years”

That might not be a pun, but if it is- what a delicious one. That’s on some Jay-Z, Ali signifying shit.

Well I’m certainly on some lists now.

All that is interesting enough, until you realize that this is taking place in front of reporters who are in a separate soundproof room with a 20 second audio delay.

Sur real. As in south of real.

Can you imagine watching A Few Good Men or Kramer Vs. Kramer with a 20 second tape delay? Really ruins the drama of the courtroom drama. Ah the things you have to do when you give your detainees psychotropic truth drugs…
