I guess this confession is seen as a major victory. Maybe I'm cynical, but why wouldn't he confess? The dude has been held at GITMO since 2003. It's either confess and hopefully get death -- or at least a lawyer's attention -- or stay incarcerated, probably in some type of solitary, indefinitely.
The CNN piece says that he confessed to a helluva lot of terrorist attacks. That sets off some red flags for me. I mean, where did he find the time? But more importantly, the article does not indicate that he gave any information to authorities that only someone who planned the attacks could know.
So is this really a victory? Or just a well-timed confession as the public's support of the war in Iraq wanes even more?
