This very man's continued existence is an insult to all Americans.
So he was waterboarded. So what. At least he didn't burn to death 101 floors ups. Or fall those 101 floors, thinking of his wife and kids all the way down.
Maybe we ought to instead waterboard Zazi and find out what the fuck he and the rest of the goat fuckers were up to.
And deal Khalid a simple .45 acp to the back of the head in some roach and rat infested stinking of feces and urine concrete hole.
And then leave him there for the roaches and rats to nibble on.

9/11 a “Badge of Honor” – - New Attack Coming
TOP TERRORISTS SAYS ALLAH WILL PROVIDE HIS DEFENSE

Al Qaeda chieftain Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who is now on trial at Guantanamo Bay, wants to fire his free-of-charge American lawyers. He claims that Allah will defend him in a letter that was made public this week.
Mohammed, 44, stands accused of mass murder for masterminding the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed 2,974 people.
His military judge has opted to leave the defense team intact until Nov. 16, when the Obama administration is expected to decide whether Mohammed and for other alleged 9/11 plotters should receive military or federal trials.
In his letter, Mohammed writes that he wants to dismiss his Pentagon defense lawyer, Army Lt. Col. Michael Acuff, and Boise, Idaho, criminal defense attorneys David Nevin and Scott McKay.
“I believe that Allah is sufficient to defend me,” he insists. “I wish to represent myself without the assistance of any lawyers.”
To date, the American Civil Liberties Union has shelled out more than $3.5 million to provide legal services for Guantánamo detainees facing death penalty charges.
Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times in CIA custody, has boasted of his role in the 9/11 attacks, and has called the allegations against him “badges of honor.” He allegedly also has bragged that another attack is in store for America – - a nuclear event that will leave much of the country in ruins. Mohammed has identified the operative in charge of this mission as Adnan el-Shukrijumah, who remains on the lam.
Mohammed had for a time accepted Nevin and McKay to mount his defense. They wrote briefs and presented arguments in court.
Lt. Col. Acuff, a Tennessee-licensed lawyer, urged the judge to maintain a robust standby defense team to help prepare the Mohammed’s defense. He cited American Bar Association professional standards for defending death penalty cases.
“Because Mr. Mohammed was tortured while in the custody of the United States of America, the case requires a detailed analysis of the effects of this mistreatment,” he said.
In addition, Acuff said the case involves complex national security law, classified evidence and international humanitarian law.
“The case also involves allegations of activities occurring on multiple continents and in diverse countries, and witnesses who speak a variety of foreign languages,” the Pentagon lawyer said.
He went on to say that the case “involves a cultural and religious context which is very different from my own.”
Lt. Col. Acuff further protested the continuation of legal proceedings to the conclusion of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan capped by the Eid al Fitr feast.
“Proceeding with a hearing during Eid,” he said, would “exacerbate the hostility that exists between the accused and the military commissions and further erode the reliability of these proceedings, and will be seen as an insult to Muslims around the world.”
