Architect of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and fellow co-conspirators may be spared death penalty under new plea deal being considered by federal gov

Quote:The suspected architects behind the 9/11 terror attacks may never face the death penalty under new plea agreements being considered.

The Pentagon and FBI have advised families of some of the thousands killed that the agreements are under consideration to try and bring an end to their more than decade-long prosecution.

The move has angered some family members of the nearly 3,000 people killed outright in the terror attacks.

Gee, ya think?

Quote:It was Mohammed who presented the very idea of such an attack on the United States to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, and who received authorization from bin Laden to craft what became the 9/11 attacks, the United States' 9/11 Commission concluded.

The four other defendants are alleged to have supported the hijackers in various ways.

The 9/11 hearings have been on hold while military officials examine whether one of the defendants is competent to stand trial. Hearings are set to resume September 18 this year.

The case has played out with a changing series of defense lawyers and judges, all grappling with the legalities and logistics of the military trial. Much of the hearings have been mired in litigation over how much of the testimony should be considered inadmissible by the torture that defendants underwent in early CIA custody, including the waterboarding of Mohammed 183 times.

Leave it to a bunch of greedy lawyers to screw up something that should be very simple.

I'm honestly shocked they're still alive. I thought that was all taken care of already.

Terrible idea.

9/11 attackers: spared death penalty

January 6th prisoners, Trump supporters, conservatives, Republicans, Christians, and white people: death penalty plus 1,000 year prison sentence

C'mon man, most of the people killed in 9/11 were just lowly Americans. No big deal. It isn't like they were Ukrainians.

Lots of them might have even been conservatives and deserved it.

Got to get your thinking straight.

WOW - just wow.

The 9/11 defendants are getting better treatment than the J6 people.


This may be the first time in my life that I can honestly say I am embarrassed to be an American.

Country's done far more embarrassing than this.

BUT being embarrassed sometimes doesn't mean you can't still be a patriot....something that gets forgotten sadly & unfortunately & frequently.

You know you are right on the first point - but to me what those people did and how many American lives were affected - to not eradicate all of those people is embarrassing to me. I would not be embarrassed if I was not Patriotic. actually.

Like another poster mentioned - I didn't realize this was even still going on. They should have been worm food years ago.
