76. Who would they confess to?

May 2012

their wife? good luck with that. a confession is meaningless unless it is conducted in front of a judge in a court of law. but the case has long been closed anyway, so that will never happen. the word of the wife means nothing, if she even decides to tell anyone what her husband just confessed to her. her second-hand information is worth even less than her dying husband's word. who would believe her? why would the dying perp even want to confess in the first place and have his family's name and reputation forever tarnished and associated with those who planned and carried out 9/11?? this deathbed confession nonsense is really quite laughable. which is why it only happens in the movies.
