Wonderment

After five years of waterboarding, you do have to wonder about the timing of today's major headline story:

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, long said to be the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, confessed to them at a military hearing held in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, on Saturday, according to a transcript released by the Pentagon yesterday. He also acknowledged full or partial responsibility for more than 30 other terror attacks or plots.

I mean, Bush had to have something to drive Gonzales off the front page, didn't he?
