According to a Huffington Post story this afternoon, accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has penned a thirty-six page "Statement to the Crusaders of the Military Commissions at Guantanamo."
I have only thumbed through the document, which is apparently the first in a three-part series. This one is entitled "Invitation to Happiness;" KSM apparently has yet to complete work on the two forthcoming installments. But---and notably, given the long-running military commission case against him and four accused co-conspirators---he says that the second chapter apparently will
deal[] with why the Mujahedeen carried out 9/11 and whether it was a terrorist operation or an act of self defense sanctioned by every constitution and international laws as the right of everyone whose land is occupied and whose people are attacked.
