Confessions made uner torture are not admissible in U.S. courts. It's against civil and human rights laws listed in the U.S. Constitution. If you were tortured by the CIA you might say anything. Not to mention the extreme rendition, which is against international law. Confessions mean nothing when you just got a drone trying to kill you and your entire family. Everyone knows that KSM always wanted to make himself look good. But his 'confession' will never stand, because it's inadmissable in court.
