... are not good evidence.

If confessions to third parties are admissible in court that is because the defendant is present in court and has the opportunity to challenge the alleged "confession". Outside of court, since the accused has no opportunity to respond, the alleged confession is indeed hearsay.

Abu Zubaydah was mentally ill. He was also waterboarded many times. You provide no authority for your timeline of

1. Abu Zubaydah identifies KSM before Abu Zubayhda was waterboarded

2. Fouda did not know of Abu Zubaydah's alleged claims when he allegedly visited al Qaeda in 2002


You also provide no authority for your claim that KSM's computer confirmed his involvement. Says who. Where? The CIA? And you believe them?

FBI director Robert S. Mueller III told the Commonwealth Club in the spring of 2002 that the FBI did not find "a single piece of paper either here in the U.S. or in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and elsewhere that mentioned any aspect of the September 11th plot. The hijackers had no computers, no laptops, no storage media of any kind. They used hundreds of different pay phones and cell phones, often with prepaid calling cards that are extremely difficult to trace. And they made sure that all the money sent to them to fund their attacks was wired in small amounts to avoid detection."

Please provide some authority to support your claim that Osama confessed to doing 9/11. Far from "dismissing" the claim, I am simply agnostic because there is much controversy about them and I have not found time to shovel through the bullshit. I have no reason for any confidence that you have, either.
