Pentagon: Suspected Mastermind of USS Cole Bombing Confesses

During a hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba suspect Waleed Mohammed Attash confessed to the bombing of USS Cole. He also said he helped with the planning of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 that killed 213. Suicide bombers steered an explosives-laden boat into the battleship in Oct. 12, 2000. Five days before Attash's confession, the Pentagon released a record of hearings for three other major suspects at Guantanamo. One of them was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who confessed to nearly 3 dozen plots including the 9/11 attacks. He also said he met the man who did the embassy bombings just a few hours before operation went into action. Bin Attash also said he was with bin Laden when the Cole was attacked. Said to be an Al Qaeda operational chief.I believe all these plots and attacks are pointless, they have no good reasoning behind it, what are they getting accomplished?
