I'm not sure what to think of this. On one hand, he attended an Al Queda training camp. But on the other, all of this "admitting" has me suspicious, seems they could've "accidentally" fudged a few phrases here and there. Not only that, but he was already on a do-not fly list. Why? And why, if he came here to conduct terrorist activities, did he never actually do anything?

It's all up in the air, either side could be right or wrong on this one, imo.

I do find it somewhat suspicious that so much information was available about the way the interogation went.

I don't recall ever seeing such an exact record of denials and then admitances before. Usually you just hear that they've admitted to it (and often not even that) because more than that is considered prejudical to the trial.

It's very hard to tell what happened but something more will surface before long and we will be able to hopefully make at least a well-educated guess.

People, i think, will attend there training camps and regret it; I don't think it's guarenteed that any attendee will inevitably become a terrorist or islamic fundamentalist revolutionary (IIRC the training camps are as much for the latter - domestic terrorism in many cases - as the former).  There's probably a crucial difficulty in equating attendance to actual subscription to jihad or soforth.

Yeah. We all do dumb things.

Would you be any less suspicious if they provided no information about how the interogations went? Of if they provided a little less information about how the interrogations went.

I'm actually generally suspicious of everything so no. On the other hand this time I can at least provide grounds it :D

To be honest yes I would be less suspicious given less info on the interogation itself. As I said the very fact that there was so much of it is rather strange. Maybe there is nothing wrong with the arrest and the press office simply went too far in trying to make things look above board but there is definately something wrong either in the reporting or in the police's statements.
