 washingtonpost.com: 9/11 Report Says Plotter Saw Self as Superterrorist
According to the new report from the Sept. 11 commission, the idea is classic KSM -- as Mohammed is referred to in U.S. intelligence reports -- mixing grim nihilism with a flair for the dramatic and always putting Mohammed at the center of things.
Mohammed, the architect of the Sept. 11 attacks, has been in U.S. custody at an undisclosed location since March 2003, when he was captured in a safe house in Pakistan.
Mohammed presented bin Laden and one of his senior lieutenants, Muhammad Atef, with a virtual menu of terrorist plots, including the Philippines jetliner scheme, a plan to bomb U.S.-bound cargo ships and a proposal "for an operation that would involve training pilots who would crash planes into buildings in the United States," the report says.

 Is There More to the Capture of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Than Meets the Eye?
Mohammed was dead, was captured, was there and got away, was there and was allowed to get away.” [Los Angeles Times, 12/22/02] Asia Times has claimed Mohammed was killed, and since his arrest continue to strongly suggest that he is already dead.

U.S. investigators have concluded that Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was slain by Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the senior al Qaeda leader believed to be the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, sources familiar with the case said yesterday.
Mohammed was captured in March at a safe house in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and has since been held and interrogated by U.S. forces at an undisclosed location.
Now Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, this [would be] an extraordinary act for a man who was the mastermind, one of the senior officials in al Qaeda, to commit a murder personally.

 Suspects slip under US guard - www.theage.com.au
Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11 terrorist attacks, obtained a visa to enter the US weeks beforehand despite being under a federal terrorism indictment.
Authorities later learned that Mohamed Atta, the leader of the al-Qaeda cells that executed the September 11 attack, was at the Orlando, Florida, airport the same day that Mohammed al-Qahtani, who is in US custody, was stopped.
The information suggests Mohammed may have planned a last-minute trip to shepherd some aspect of the plot, a risky move given that he had been under federal indictment in the US since 1996 for his role in earlier terrorist plots.

 Leader sheds doubt on Moussaoui - PittsburghLIVE.com
WASHINGTON -- Captured al-Qaida operations chief Khalid Sheik Mohammed has told his interrogators that accused terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui was not part of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijack group, but was in the United States for a second wave attack, according to sources with knowledge of his statements.
The assertions by Mohammed, self-described mastermind of the terror strikes on New York and Washington, that Moussaoui was preparing for an attack that never occurred could further complicate the federal government's prosecution of Moussaoui, experts said.
Mohammed has also told interrogators of Moussaoui's close association with Riduan Isomuddin, also known as Hambali, another key al-Qaida leader still at large who is suspected of organizing a series of bombing plots in Southeast Asia, the sources said.

 Washingtonpost.com: Live Online
One is that with KSM removed from the scene and out of communciations with both the al Qaeda senior leadership and the foot soldiers below, both would very soon come to the only obvious conclusion: that he was killed or apprehended.
KSM's apprehension is an especially important step forward in the struggle against al Qaeda and may well prove to be a critical leap forward in the decimation of its key exisiting leadership.
KSM's arrest may be the beginning of the end of al Qaeda; but the end may only come with the apprehension or death of its preeminent figure and leader--bin Laden.

The son of a mosque leader, Mohammed was born to expatriate Pakistani parents in 1965 in Fahaheel, a burgeoning beachfront enclave south of Kuwait City where many immigrants settled hoping to share in the emirate's oil boom.
Mohammed was inevitably drawn to the struggle and took a job teaching at a school founded by an Afghan warlord called the University of Dawa al Jihad, translated as Convert and Struggle.
Mohammed transferred some money to Yousef while his nephew was in the United States carrying out the 1993 bombing, but Mohammed was not integral to the operation and would remain subordinate to Yousef, according to FBI officials who have profiled the pair.

Mohammed did meet with Padilla and his accomplice, and he was, as Zubaydah was, skeptical about the dirty bomb plot.
What KSM knew for sure, however, was that he had authorized this explosives-trained al Qaeda operative to mount an attack in the United States.
He does admit, however, that after accepting Khalid Sheik Mohammed's assignment, Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, who was the coordinator and organizer of the 19 hijackers on September 11th, trained Padilla in using telephones securely, and in al Qaeda's e-mail protocol.

 9/11 plotter saw himself as superterrorist - PittsburghLIVE.com
Mohammed, the architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, has been in U.S. custody at an undisclosed location since March 2003, when he was captured in a safe house in Pakistan.
The commission's report portrays Mohammed, now 39, as a flamboyant and zealous operative who was continually hatching grandiose plans for terrorist attacks, even as bin Laden and other senior al-Qaida leaders urged him to stay focused on the Sept. 11 plot.
Mohammed also claims he would have worked with any terrorist group, not just al-Qaida, and he would have gone forward with the Sept. 11 attacks even if bin Laden had canceled them.

 Jim Hoagland, Who is Khalid Sheik Mohammed?
The U.S. media and government officials describe Mohammed and Yousef as "masters of disguise," and then assume they are who they say they are this time.
How they acquired prodigious masterminding skills and, at least in Mohammed's case, rabid Islamic fanaticism after lives of intellectual mediocrity and pleasure-seeking, also is a mystery.
Mohammed migrated from the identity of small-time freelance terrorist to the top ranks of bin Laden's ultra-secretive band not long after the 1993 bombing resulted in the breakup of Yousef's U.S. network.

With the capture of top al Qaeda terrorist Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (known as "KSM"), getting him to disgorge the contents of his brain quickly and truthfully is critically necessary before his network has a chance to vanish undercover.
Once you have the regions in KSM's brain clearly distinguished that light up when he is lying or telling the truth, the serious questioning starts.
This week, I heard a university professor tell a television interviewer that he thought the use of torture in the interrogation of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the al Qaeda leader, was acceptable, as long as it is done abroad, and as long as it is not used on U.S. citizens.

In showing a tape of Mohammed's arrest, ISI officials appeared eager to demonstrate that their agents conducted the raid without help from FBI agents who have been present for other al-Qaida arrests in Pakistan.
They said Mohammed was interrogated, with American participation, for three days before he was flown out of the country.
On the basis of accounts provided by other Pakistani security officials, one of whom was present for Mohammed's interrogation, the Washington Post also has reported that Mohammed told investigators he had not seen bin Laden since before the Sept. 11 attacks -- rather than in December, as the ISI officials said Monday.

In the months after 9/11, KSM had become a revered symbol in the world of Islamic fundamentalists.  It was KSM who conceived the attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., with their use of suicide pilots and heavily loaded aircraft.
It was KSM as well who had beheaded Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in May 2002, and then just before the first anniversary of the videotaped killing sat for an interview in silhouette with al-Jazeera to brag about what he had done.
U.S. officials believed KSM was at the same location, but later conceded he had either escaped or was never there to begin with.

About now, Mohammed is undergoing "aggressive interrogation" by allied intelligence operatives aimed at flushing other al-Qaida terrorists from hiding and queering their evil plots.
Though Mohammed styles himself captain of al-Qaida's "military committee," a good hunch is that he won't be a name, rank, and serial-number guy under the hot lights.
Mohammed isn't yet dead, but he couldn't be more neutralized if he too were sleeping in Davy Jones' Locker.

Khalid, who applied for the visa in Pakistan under an alias, never came.
