Here are the transcripts of the interviews by the Defense Department of the three most senior Al Qaeda leaders in custody in the world, provided to us by Jean Charles Brisard. The Defense Department has posted more information at a special website.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: "I was responsible for the 9/11 operation from A to Z"

Abu Faraj al-Libi (who did not attend his session)

Ramzi Binalshibh (who refused to attend the session)

This is a pretty cool website. We haven't heard a lot recently about enemy combatant trials and these transcripts provide insight that they appear to be as dull as standard legal proceedings: Lots of red tape, sprinkled with bits of interestingness.
