Seemling contradiction

Daniel — 3/15/2007 1:13:07 PM (archived)

If his confession is in fact false, and he is not a 9/11 terrorist, then why would he be executed? Isn't that penalty reserved for proven terrorists? So, if he is not in fact the guilty party, he would in fact have everything to lose by confessing to that. He would be calling the death penalty upon himself unnecessarily, for a crime he actually didn't commit. - Maybe I'm missing the point here.
