I was a bit skeptical too, but the trusty Internet search on DeSantis & Gitmo shows it to be true.
My view of that whole situation is that ObL & company had nothing to do with the main events of 911.
Based on the scale and complexity, it could only have been an intel-agency operation according to George Freidman, founder of the private intel agency, Stratfor.
ObL's supposed confession was an Egyptian actor.
Anyone who could undertake such an op, and pull it off, knows to sprinkle possible suspects around the scene, and then land on a patsy.
Gitmo was used to waterboard confessions out of the designated patsies--the icing on the cake.
I am not surprised. You hit on something that may one day may be proven. Depressing are the powers over us, at this point.
