Accused Sept. 11, 2001, mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detainees say they want to confess and plead guilty.
The five, set to appear Monday before a military tribunal at Guantanamo, have asked its judge, U.S. Army Col. Stephen Henley, for "an immediate hearing session to announce our confessions," the group Human Rights Watch said.

Whatever floats their boat I guess but I don't think their getting a fair trial as long as their still at Guantanamo...
