"He also admitted to plotting a number of other crimes with Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, notably by wearing a suicide vest in a failed effort in 2002 to assassinate the president of Pakistan at the time, Pervez Musharraf, a U.S. ally in the war on terrorism."

Wow. It turns out the guy being tortured confessed to a lot of crimes. What are the odds of that?

I find stories like this so frustrating because we in the public are seemingly powerless in response to them. If the allegations of torture are true, it's the kind of the CIA and/or White House officials should hang for. And yet, there will be no consequences for the criminals who ordered this torture and countless others like it. Infuriating.
