Very well, your request for a closed session is granted and will be taken up in due course. You may proceed, PR. REPRESENTATIVE: The Detainee responds to the unclassified summary of evidence with the PERSONAL following key points. REPRESENTATIVE: ?Some paragraphs under paragraph number 3, lead sentence are not related to the context or meaning of the aforementioned lead sentettoe. For example, paragraph 3~a is only information from news or a historical account of events on I1 September 200i, and note with r10 speci?c linkage being made in this ISN i 0025; Page 3 of 26 UNCLASSIFIED paragraph to me or the de?nition of Enemy Combatant. As another example, sub~paragraph 34?; makes no linkage to me or to the definition of Enemy Combatant.? DETAINEE: Are they following along? PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE: Ah, they they have that in front of them for reference. PRESIDENT: Yes. DETAINEE: Okay. PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE: Second main point; ?There are two false statements in: the Summary of Evidence. Sub~paragraph 3-c is false. I never stated to the Al Jazeera reporter that I was the head of the al Qaida military committee; Also, sub-paragraph 3?5 is false. I did 116? receive any funds from Kuwait.? PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE: Point number ?There is an unfair ?staekittg of evidence? in the way the Summary of Evidence is annotated. In other words, there are several sub~ paragraphs under parent~paragtaph 3 which should be combined into one sub? paragraph to avoid creating the false perception that there are more allegations or statements against me specific-ally than there actually are. For example, sub?- paxagraphs 3mm through 3~o, which pertain to the bojz?nka plot should be combined into one paragraph, as should paragraphs 3?~a through 3~h, which pertain to 9/11.? PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE: Lastly, my name is misspelled in the Summary of Evidence, It should be S?h? asi-?kvthe subject line. PRESIDENT: Would you like to add anything to that, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE: Final statement. DETAINEE: No, Ijnst want to ask about Witnesses.

Try to keep it in order. You want to continue, Do you have have another statement? REPRESENTATIVE: That concludes this Detainee?s response to the, ah, unclassi?ed snnimary of PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT: RECORDER: PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT PRESIDENT: evidence, sir. Oh. CALLING OF WITNESSES We will now allow for. the calling of Whitnesses All Witnesses called before this Tribunal may be questioned by the Detainee if prese,nt the Personal Representative the Recorder and the Tribunal Members Does the Recorder have any witnesses to present? No, sir. Alright. From the Detainee Election Form and I was informed earlier that the Detainee requested the presence of two witnesses to testify here today. Rarnzi bin aluShihh and Mustafa Hawsawi. The Detainee believes the witnesses can provide testi?eony. related to actidns speci?ed in the unclassi?ed summary of the evidence. I have had the opportunity to review the request for witnesses and I have made some ?ndings and I?m going to place them on the record new and when I conclude that, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, you may reSpond to that. if you?d like. First the request for Rarnai bin al~Shib, the proffer of the testimony from. the Detainee was that Ramai is alleged to have been. present during the al Jazeera interview in June 2002 during which it is said the Detainee claimed to be head of al Qaida Military Committee. The Detainee claims he never stated that, to he the head of the Military Committee, during the interview and states that Rarnzi, if called, can con?rm this. This witness is not relevant in the President?s View for the following reasons. In the totality of the circumstances and given. the natnre and quality of the other nnclassi?ed evidence, the Detaineels alleged statements as reported in. a! latte-era TEN #l0924 Enclosure Rage 10 ono UNC 133881}? PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT: DETATNEE: TRANSLATOR: DETAINEE: TRANSLATOR: UNCLASSIFIED are of limited value and negligible relevancy to the issue of combatant states. As such, any corroboration or contradiction by the prottered witness is not relevant. The creditability determinations with regard to R2, which is the al Jaaeera article can be made by the Tribunal without the proffered testimony. As such, the Detainee?s request for the production of that Witness is denied. As to the request for Mostafa Hawsawi, ah, it is proffered that Hawsawin if called, could testify that the computer/hard drive referenced in the unclassi?ed summary was not this Detainee?s property and that the place of the Detainee?s capture was not the house of the Detainee. In the President?s view this testimony is not relevant to the issues regarding the Detainee?s capture or his combatant status for the following reasons. Whether the Detainee- had actual legal title or ownership of the compnten? hard drive. or the house Where the-capture took place is irrelevant to the determination of the Betainee?s status-as an: enemy combatant. Based on the proffer, if true, Hawsawi?s testimony will not provide relevant information. The issue of owners-hip, While of some interest, is not relevant to status. What is relevant is possession, usage. connection and presence. Hawsawi?s testimony will not speak to any relevant information in regard to such points. As such, the request for the production of that witness is denied. If you would like to respond to that, I?ll hear you. Most of these facts which be written are related to this hard drive. And more than eleven of these facts are related to this computer. Other things are which is very old even nobody can bring any witnesses for that. as you written here iffit willE he ah a value for you for the witness near by you will do it. This computer is not for me. Is for Hawsawi himself. So l?rn saying I need Hawsawi because nae and him we both been arrested day. Same way. So this computer is from him longtime. And also the problem we are not in court and we are not judge and lie is not my lawyer but the procedure has been written reported and the way has mostly as certain charged against me; tell him, [Arabic Phrase]. [Translating] They are only accusations. So accusations. And the accusations, they are as you put for yourself ah definition for enemy combatant there are also many de?nitions for that accusation of fact or charges that has been written for any ah. [Arabic Phrase] [Translating] Person is accused. it i 0824 Enclosure Page il oiiZt?i ?einssirtso 3 DETAINEE: PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT RECORDER: PRESIDENT: MEMBER: UNC So. if I. been accused then if you want to put facts against rn-e also the de?nition for these facts. If you now read number. now what is written the bojinka plot. Is known many lead investigation it is not related to anything facts to be against me. So when I said computer hard drive! hard disk. same thing. All these point only one witness he can say yes or not cause he is this computer is under his possession him corn-pater. And also specifically if he said Mohammad Atta picture been this hard drive. I don?t think this should accepted. There are many 100 thousand Americans who have a lot of picture on their computer. You cannot say I find Muhammad Atta on your computer then you use this fact against you. Or you find any files in your computer to be. what about itis urine, it?s not my computer. If this witness, he will state that this known and here that has been ninety percent of what is written is wrong. And for Ranizia for reporter in Jazeera, he claimed that I state this one and you know the media man. How they are fashionable. What they mean in their own way in a whole different way. They just wrote it so he say I state. But I never stated and I don?t have any witnesses and witness are available here at Guantanamo. He is Detainee. He was with me. Which he been mostly in all my interview with him. Me and there was three person, rne and Rainai and this reporter. So if you not believe nae. not believe him, believe my witness Rarnzi. Then he?s what he state the reporter most is false. I not denying that I?m not an enemy combatant about this war but I?m denying the report. It not being written in the proper way. Which is really facts and mostly just being gathered many information. General information that form in way of doing, to use in facts against me. I have heard and understood your argument. In order for are to make my determinations regarding the production of witnesses I first have to believe that they are relevant for the reasons that I have stated. For the reasons I have stated. I do not believe they are relevant. Whether or not they may be available here on Guantanamo, is a second decision to be made, but only if I decide they are relevant. have heard your arguments. noted them. However? my ruling stands. The Recorder has no witnesses. is that my understanding? No, sir. And there are no other approved witnesses to taken up. Ah, we will take a brief rnornent to review the unclassi?ed evidence that we received so far and then we will pick. back up in the proceeding. If?l might ask a question real quick of the PR. This is the entire translation of the hand written notes? lShi it i. 9824 iineiosure Page i2 of .265 UNCLASSIFIED PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE: Yeah. The hand written notes are the Detainee is on yellow.

MEMBER: Type written. PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE: Typed from Iiingaist?s notes. MEMBER: Type from Linguist?s translations. Okay. PRESIDENT: Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, I did not offer you an oath early because I was informed- by the Personal Representative that you would be making some statement later on in these proceedings relevant to the truthfulness of your comments. So, if you would like to take an oath I would administer one to you but I did understand that you going to make a statement. DETAINEE: In the final statement, I will explain why then.

Let me take up a few things that have come up as based on my review of these documents that have been provided to us so far. D~dt appears to be a written statement regarding certain treatment that you claim to have received at the hands of the United Stated government as you indicated from the time of your capture in 2003 up tattil before coming here to Guantanamo in September 2006, Is that correct? Yes. Alright New; I haven?t seen any statements in the evidence we receive so far that claim to come from you other than acknowledging whether you were or not the head of the Mi-titary Committee. Were any statements that you made as the result of art-y of the treatment that you received during that time frame from 2003 to 2006?? Did- you make those statements because of the treatment you receive thorn these people? Statement for whom? To atty of these ihtettogators. CIA peoples. Yes. At the beginning when they transferred me What I?m trying to get at is any statemeat that you made was it because of this treatment, to use your word, you claim torture.

I want to just it is not related enemy combatant but I?m saying for you to be careful with people. That you have classified and unclassi?ed facts. My opinion to be fair with people. Because when I say, Iwill not regret when I say I?m enemy combatant. I did or not I know there are other but there are many Detainees which you receive classi?ed against them maybe, maybe not take away from me for many Detainees false witnesses. This only advice.

There are many many people which they have never been part of the Taliban.

Istatt in Arabia 182% #0024 ii-neltisnre Page Lit} ol?Zo EINSLAS PRESIDENT: DETAINEE (through translator): DETAINEE: PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT: DETAINEE: DETAINEE: UNCLASSIFIED Please. In the name of God the most compassionate, the most merciful, and if any fail to retaliation by way of charity and. I apologize. I will start again. And if any fail to judge by the light of Allah has revealed, they are no better than wrong doors, unbelievers, and the unjust. For this verse, I not take the oath. Take an oath is a part of your Tribunal and I?ll not accept it. To be or accept the Tribunal as to be, I?ll accept it. That I?m accepting American constitution, American law or whatever you are doing here. This is why religiously I cannot accept anything you do. Just to explain for this one, does not mean I?m not saying that I?m lying. When I not take oath does not mean I?m lying. You know very well peoples take oath. and they will lie. You know the President he did this. before he just makes his oath and he lied. So sometimes when. I?m not making oath does not mean I?m lying. I understand. Second thing. When I wrote this thing, I mean, the PR he told me that President may stop you at anytime and he don?t like big mouth nor you to talk too much. To be Within subject. So, I will try to be within the enemy combatant subject You can say whatever you?d like to say so long as it?s relevant to what we are discussing here today. Okay, thanks. What I wrote here, is not I?m making myself hero, when I said I was responsible for this or that. But your are military than. You know very well there are language for any war. So, there are, we are when I admitting these things I?m not saying Ibut this the language of any war. If America they want to invade iraq they will not send for Saddam roses or kisses they send for a bombardment. This is the best way if I want. If I?m ?ghting for anybody admit to them I?m American enemies. For sure, I?m American enemies. Usama bin Laden, he did his best press conference in American media. Mr. John Miller he been there when he made declaration against Jihad, against America. And he said it is not no need for me now to make explanation of What he said but mostly be said about American military presence in Arabian peninsula and aiding Israel and many things. So when we made any war against America we are jachals fighting in the nights. 1 consider myself, for What you are doing, a religions thing as yon ISN it i 0024 Enclosure Page 21 ot?Zo ifNCiirhS UNCLASSIFIED consider as fundamentalist. So, we derive from religious leading that we consider? we and George Washington doing same thing. As consider George Washington as here. Muslims many of them are considering Usama bin Laden. He is doing same thing. He is just ?ghting. He needs his independence. Even. we think that, or not me only. Many Muslims, that al Qaida or Taliban they are doing. They have been oppressed by America. This is the feeling of the prophet. So when we say we are enemy combat-ant, that right. We are. But I?m asking you again to be fair with. many Detainees which are not enemy combatant. Because many of them have been unjustly arrested. Many, not one or two or three. Cause the de?nition you: which wrote even from my view it is not fair. Because if i was in the first Jihad times Rassia. So I have to be Russian enemy. But America supported me in this because I?m their alliances when was ?ghting Russia. Sara-e job I?m doing. I?m fighting. I. was ?ghting there Russia now I?m ?ghting America. So, many people who been in Afghanistan never live. Afghanistan- stay in but they not share Taliban or al: Qaida. They been Russian time and they cannot go back to their borne with their corrupt-ed government. They stayed there and when America. invaded- Afg-hanista-n parliament. They had been arrest. They never have been with Taliban or the others. So many people consider them as enemy but they are not. Because definitions are very wide definition so people they came after October of 2002, 200l. When America invaded Afghanistan, they just arrive in Afghanistan cause the hear there enemy. They don?t know what it means al Qaida or Usaina bin Laden or Taliban. They (innit care about these things. They heard they were enemy in Afghanistan they just arrived. As they heard first time Russian invade Afghanistan. They arrive they fought when back than they came. They don?t know what?s going on and Taliban. they been head of government. You consider me even Taliban even the president. of whole government. Many people they join Tali-ban because they are the go?Vetntnent. When Karzai they came they join Karzai when come they join whatever public they don?t know what is going on. So, many Taliban fight even the be fighters because they just because public. The government is Taliban then until now CIA don?t have exactly definition well who is Taliban, who is al Qaida. Your Tribunal now are discussing he is enerny or not and that is one of your jobs. So this is why you find many Afghanis people, Pakistanis people even, they don?t know what going on they inst hear? they ate fighting and they help Muslim. in .afghanistan, Then what. There are some in?dels which they came here and they have to help them. But then there weren?t any intend to do anything against America. Taliban themselves between Taliban they said Afghanistan which they never again against 9.51 1 operation. The rejection between senior of Taliban of what al Qaida are doing. Many of Taliban rejected what they are doing. Even tnany Taliban, they not agree about why we are in Afghanistan. Some of them they have been with as. Taliban never in their life at all before America invade them the intend to do anything against America. They never been with al Qaida. Does not mean we are Enclosnte Page 22 {?526 UNCLASSIFIED here as American now. They gave political asylum for many countries. They gave for Chinese oppositions or a North Korean but that does not mean they are with. them same thing many of Taliban. They harbor us as al Qaida does not mean we are together. So, this is Why I?m asking you to be fair with Afghanis and Pakistanis and many Arabs which been in Afghanistan. Many of then: been unjustly. The funny story they been Sunni government they sent some spies to assassinate UBL then. we arrested them sent them to Afghanistan/Taliban. Taliban put them into prison. Americans they came and arrest them. as enerny combatant. They brought them here. So, even if they are my enemy but not fair to be there with me. This is what I?m. saying. The way of the War, you know, very well, any country waging war against their enemy the language of the war are killing. If man and woman they be together as a marriage that is up to the kids, children. But if you and me, two nations, will. be together in war the others are victims. This. ?is the way of the language. You know 40- million peeple were kill-ed in \World War: One. . Ten mil-lion kill? in World- W-ar. Youknow that two million four hundred thousand be killed in the Korean War. So this language of the War. Any people who, when. Usama bin Laden say lint waging war because such such reason, now he declared it. But when you. said I?m terrorist, I think it is deceiving peoples. Terrorists, enerny combatant. All these de?nitions as CIA you can make whatever you want. Now, you told me when I ask about the witnesses, I?m not convinced that this related. to the matter. It is up to you. Maybe I?m convinced but your are head and he [gesturing to Personal Representative] is not responsible, the other, because your are head of the committee. So, finally it?s your war but the problem is no de?nitions of many words. It would be widely de?nite that many people be oppressed. Because war, for sure, there will be victims. Wheul said. I?m not happy that three thousand been killed in. America. feel: sorry even. I don?t like to kill children and the kids. Never Islam are, give the green. light to kill peoples. Killing, as in the Christianity, Jews, and Islam, are prohibited. But there are exception of rule when you are killing people in lraq. You said we have to do it. We don?t like Saddam. But this is the way to deal with Saddam. Same thing you are saying. Same language you use, I use. When you are invading two? thirds of Mexican, you call your war manifest destiny. It up to you to call it What you want. But other side are calling you oppress'ors. it" new George Washington. lf now we were living in the Revolutionary War and George Washington he being arrested through Britain. For sure be, they would consider hint enemy combatant. But American. they consider him as hero. This right the any Revolutionary War they will be as George Washington or Britain. So we are considered American Army bases which we have from seventies in Iraq. Also, in the Saudi Arabian, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. This is kind of invasion, but l?rn not here to convince you. ls not or not but mostly speech is ask you to be fair with people. For don?t have anything to say that For; not enemy. This is why the language of any war in the #16824 Enclosure itage 23 of 26 DE-TAINEE (through translator): DBTAINEE: UNCLASSIFIED world is killing. 1 mean the. language of the was is victims. 1 don?t like to kill people. feel very sorry they been killed kids in 9/11. What I will do? This is the language. Sometime I want to make great awakening between American to stop foreign policy in our land. I know American people are torturing its from seventies. I know they talking about hurnan rights. And I know it is against American Constitution, against American laws. But they said every law, they have exceptions, this is your bad lock you been part of the exception. of our laws. They got have something to convince me but we are doing same language. But we are saying we have Sharia law, but we have Koran. What is enemy combatant in my language? Allah forbids you not with regards to those who fight you not for your faith not drive you out of your homes from dealing kindly and justly with. them. For Allah love those who arejnst. There is one more sentence. Allah- only-forbi-ds- you with regards to those who fight you for your faith and drive you cat of your homes and support others in driving you out from turning to them for friendship and protection. It is such as turn to them in these circumstances that do wrong. So we are driving from whatever deed we do we ask about Koran or Hadith. We are not making up for as laws. When we need Fatwa front the religions we have to go back to see what they said scholar. To see what they said yes or not. Killing is prohibited in all what you call the people of the book, Jews, .iudaisrn, Christianity, and Islam. Yon know the Ten Commandments very well. The Ten Commandments are shared between all of as. We all are serving one God. Then now kill you know it very well. But war language also we have language for the war; You have to kill. But you have to care if unintentionally or intentionally target ifl have if I?m not at the Pentagon. I consider it is okay. If 1 target now when we target in USA we choose them military target, economical, and political. So, war central victims mostly means economical target. 80 if now American they know UBL. He is in this house they don?t care about his kids and his. They will just bombard it. They will kill all of them and they did it. They kill wife of Dr. Ayman Zawahiri and his two daughters and his son in one bombardment. They receive a report that is his house be. He had not been there, They killed them. They arrested my kids intentionally. They are kids. They been arrested for four months they had been abused. So, for me I have patience. I know l?m not talk about whatls come to me. The American have human right. So, enemy combatant itself, it flexible word. So I think God knows that many who been arrested, they been unjustly arrested. Otherwise, military throughout history know very well. They donlt war will never stop. War start from Adam when Cain he killed Abel until now. it?s never gonna stop killing of people. This is the ESN it i @024 Enclosure i3age 2d? oii?o PRESIDENT: DETAINEE: PRESIDENT: PRESIDENT: PERSONAL UNCLASSIFIED way of the language. American start the Revolutionary War then they starts the Mexican then Spanish War then World War One, World War Two. You read the history. You know never stopping war. This is life.
