In a rambling statement delivered Saturday to a closed-door military tribunal, Mohammed declared himself an enemy of the United States and claimed some responsibility for many of the major terrorist attacks on U.S. and allied targets over more than a decade.

Uh oh, the WP used the ‘t’ word (terrorist) again-they’ll be getting a memo from the WH about that indiscretion.
It just keeps getting worse by the day.
