NY Times gets one right

Yahoo News headline: 9/11 mastermind admits killing reporter

New York Times headline: Mohammed Said to Confess to Other Acts

The two articles, which are identical AP reports, say this in the 24th paragraph:

The military barred reporters or other independent observers from the sessions for the 14 operatives and is limiting the information it provides about them, arguing that it wants to prevent the disclosure of sensitive information.

So all we really know is what the military said that Mohammed said. And since the military has lied about everything from Jessica Lynch to Pat Tillman to Haditha, attributing the "confessions" in the Pentagon-released "transcript" to Khalid Sheik Mohammed is an act of journalistic malfeasance. And I'm sure there are many wingnuts out there who not only believe everything the Pentagon says, but are even crazy enough to believe that KSM actually did all this stuff.

Fortunately, Dennis Perrin isn't one of those. While his account of some of the things KSM confessed to seems a bit far-fetched, doesn't the Pentagon's as well, when (or if, in Yahoo's case) you think about it?
