And The Country Posing The Greatest Threat to Peace as 2013 Ends is?
The past year witnessed bloodshed in Syria and Iraq, turmoil in Egypt, anarchy in Central Africa, threats by a nuclear-armed North Korea and Chinese military posturing, but as 2013 ends a global poll finds that the country seen as representing the greatest threat to peace today is ... the United States.

Doctors and dentists tell patients, “all your reviews belong to us”
When I walked into the offices of Dr. Ken Cirka, I was looking for cleaner teeth, not material for an Ars Technica story. I needed a new dentist, and Yelp says Dr. Cirka is one of the best in the Philadelphia area.

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Confesses to Planning 9/11
This really doesn't mean much to me...
From The Washington Times:
Why doesn't it mean much to me? It gives me no personal satisfaction at all. I know they have bad people in Gitmo, so being proven right does not give me any satisfaction. What it does show is why we have to keep Gitmo open to house these murderous cretins.
Hey Rosie! No one confesses with the PRESS PRESENT, You Dumb Bitch!
From The Washington Times:
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, long suspected as the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, confessed to that attack and a string of others during a military hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to a transcript released yesterday by the Pentagon.
"I was responsible for the 9/11 operation from A to Z," Mohammed said in a statement read during the session, which was held last Saturday. "I was the operational director for Sheikh Usama (Osama) Bin Laden for the organizing, planning, follow-up, and execution of the 9/11 operation."
The Pakistani national said he was involved in planning the 2002 bombing of a Kenya beach resort frequented by Israelis and the failed missile attack on an Israeli passenger jet after it took off from Mombasa, Kenya. He also said he was responsible for the 2002 bombing of a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, that killed 202 persons.
Other plots he said he was responsible for included planned attacks against the Sears Tower in Chicago, the Empire State Building and New York Stock Exchange, the Panama Canal and Big Ben and Heathrow Airport in London -- none of which occurred.
Mohammed also admitted "managing and following up on the Cell for the Production of Biological Weapons, such as anthrax and others, and following up on Dirty Bomb Operations on American soil."
In a section of the statement that was blacked out, he confessed to the on-tape beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, the Associated Press has learned. Mr. Pearl was abducted in January 2002 in Pakistan while researching a story on Islamic militancy. Mohammed has long been a suspect in the killing.
His words draw al Qaeda closer to plots of the early 1990s than the group has previously been connected to, including the 1993 World Trade Center truck bombing. Six people with links to global terror networks were convicted in federal court and sentenced to life in prison.
It also makes clear that al Qaeda wanted to down a second trans-Atlantic aircraft during would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid's operation.
Mohammed's confession was read by a member of the U.S. military who is serving as his personal representative. It also claimed he shared responsibility for three other attacks, including assassination attempts against Pope John Paul II and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.
In all, Mohammed said he was responsible for planning 28 attacks. The comments were included in a 26-page transcript released by the Pentagon, which blacked out some of his remarks.
After his confession was read, Mohammed personally made a long statement in broken English, in which he compared Osama bin Laden to George Washington.
"He is doing [the] same thing," he said. "He is just fighting. He needs his independence."
Mohammed also claimed he was tortured by the CIA after his capture in 2003, according to an exchange he had with the military colonel who heads the three-member panel that heard his case.
"Is any statement that you made, was it because of this treatment, to use your word, you claim torture," the colonel asked. "Do you make any statements because of that?"
Portions of Mohammed's response were deleted from the transcript, and his immediate answer was not clear. He later said his confession, read at the hearing, to the long list of attacks was given without any pressure, threats or duress.
The hearings, which began on Friday, are being conducted in secret by the military as it tries to determine whether 14 top terrorism suspects, including Mohammed, should be declared "enemy combatants" who can be held indefinitely and prosecuted by military tribunals.Now, the Liberals and far Left are chiming in that this is not true, it was because he was tortured for three years at the torture camp of Gitmo. Of course, most of these people don't have the intellect of my dog, but I imagine those that cling to the Bush Administration brought down the towers and damaged the pentagon, not planes, cannot possibly accept this confession; that would mean they were WRONG.
The transcripts also lay out evidence against Mohammed, saying that a computer seized during his capture included detailed information about the September 11 plot -- ranging from names and photos of the hijackers to photos of hijacker Mohammad Atta's pilot's license and even letters from bin Laden.
Why doesn't it mean much to me? It gives me no personal satisfaction at all. I know they have bad people in Gitmo, so being proven right does not give me any satisfaction. What it does show is why we have to keep Gitmo open to house these murderous cretins.
