Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: US has killed more than I'm accused of Mohammed, who faces a tribunal with four alleged co-conspirators, told the Guantánamo Bay pretrial hearing that they should not be affected by "crocodile tears," saying: "Your blood is not made out of gold and ours is made out of water. We are all human beings. Mohammed was allowed to address the court at a pretrial hearing ahead of his trial on charges of orchestrating the September 11, 2001 attacks that killed 2,976 people, in a military-style camouflage vest after the defence argued that he was a "detained enemy prisoner of war." "When the government feels sad for the death or the killing of 3,000 people who were killed on September 11, we also should feel sorry that the American government that was represented by (the chief prosecutor) and others have killed thousands of people, millions," he said. The judge, Army Colonel James Pohl, gave Mohammed permission to speak and did not interrupt him, but said he would not hear any further personal comments from the defendants.
