Thankfully, Khalid was caught by authorities in Pakistan first, before he could commit any further crimes.

The following is an exclusive interview with "KSM", as he is affectionately known nowadays by his jail keepers, with iDNES and it is Expresially in English, just for readers of Kal’s Korner.

KSM "Spills the Beans"
iDNES: OK, KSM, you understand why those initials of yours are just terrible for Czechs to have to look at, don’t you?

KSM: What do you mean?

iDNES: I mean, look, the Czech Republic used to be called Czechoslovakia, and it used to be ruled by the Communist Party which today is KSCM, and their initials are pretty close to yours. How do you explain this fact, Sheik?

KSM: OK, I confess I used to be a Communist before becoming a conservative and joining al-Qaeda.

iDNES: OK, so the Americans eventually got you to confess after all of these years keeping you on ice.

How did they do it?
KSM: They played a very clever trick on me.

iDNES: What was this "clever trick"?

KSM: They tortured me.

iDNES: How can torture be clever, every country has done it.

KSM: But not the Americans as a rule. That’s why when they finally started doing it, it was pure torture.

iDNES: I thought that was the point! You said it yourself, torture.

KSM: Yes, but you still don’t understand. The Americans were no good at it! So it drove me nuts. They were amateurs. At least when they loaned us to other countries, we were tortured like real pros and would be mistreated like real men.

KSM’s Historic Confessions
iDNES: So what crimes did you finally confess to actually committing, other than being a Communist?

KSM: Everything that is important to America in this war against terrorism. I admit that I was the one who really shot JFK. I stood on that hill and because I shaved, no one recognized me. Besides, who speaks Arabic in Dallas Texas?

I also shot J.R. Ewing much later, but did it on TV, and I admit I did it for the money and the ratings.

I also admit that I am the only person who bribes people in the Czech Republic. I was so good at it, that the politicians would always get blamed!

I promise all Czechs, there are no corrupt politicians in your country. I also admit that I have tunneled many construction projects and properties. I also forced ex-Prime Minister Milos Zeman to drink at least one Becherovka each day, and smoke as many cigarettes as possible.

I also confess that I taught President Klaus everything he knows about economics. I tutored him ever since he was a small baby. I also taught him how to beat everyone’s ass in tennis, which he does.
