9/11 mastermind, two others strike plea deals while awaiting trial
One of the suspects includes including alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who played a large role in the terror attacks
By Louis Casiano Fox News
Published July 31, 2024 5:59pm EDT

Prosecutors have agreed to plea agreements with three of the masterminds of the Sept. 11 terror attacks who were awaiting trial in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.

The Convening Authority for Military Commissions, Susan Escallier, entered into pretrial agreements with Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin 'Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, the DOD said.

The terms and conditions of the plea deals were not disclosed.

The three men, along with Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Ramzi Bin al Shibh, were initially charged jointly and arraigned on June 5, 2008, and then were again charged jointly and arraigned a second time on May 5, 2012, in connection with their alleged roles in the attacks.

If the deal doesn't have them fed to sharks or being dropped without parachutes from 45,000 feet, it's almost certainly too light, another semi-traitorous Biden MalAdministration F-up.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

JD Vance rips Biden-Harris admin over 9/11 plea deals: ‘We need a president who kills terrorists, not negotiates with them’

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance ripped the Biden-Harris administration Wednesday for cutting an anger-inducing plea deal that will spare three terrorists allegedly responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks from the death penalty.

“We need a president who kills terrorists, not negotiates with them,” Vance told a crowd of supporters at a campaign stop in Glendale, Arizona.

The Ohio senator referenced The Post’s exclusive story that revealed the Department of Defense- approved pre-trial agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — the accused principal architect of the al Qaeda attacks — and two alleged co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

The plea deal lets the men live out their days behind bars. ...

Republican lawmakers blast 9/11 architect plea deal: ‘Cowardice’

.

After the Biden administration announced a plea deal for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged architect of the 9/11 attacks, and others, several notable Republican lawmakers lambasted the move, suggesting it was too soft for him and others involved.

Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rick Scott (R-FL), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) denounced the move soundly, along with several New York House Republicans.

“The Biden-Harris Administration’s cowardice in the face of terror is a national disgrace,” McConnell posted on X. “The plea deal with terrorists, including those behind the 9/11 attacks, is a revolting abdication of the government’s responsibility to defend America and provide justice.”

Mohammed and others received a plea deal with unknown details earlier Wednesday. President Joe Biden originally rejected the conditions of a plea deal in September.

The Biden-Harris Administration has done the unthinkable: they’ve agreed to a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11th attacks, and two of his accomplices.
23 years ago, America watched in horror as thousands of innocent Americans died. America  mourned for weeks afterwards as first responders sifted through the ashes at Ground Zero, at the Pentagon, and at the crash site in Shanksville. For more than two decades, the families of those murdered by these terrorists have waited for justice. This plea deal is a slap in the face of those families. They deserved better from the Biden-Harris Administration.

More shocking is Biden-Harris administration is claiming they didn't know of the deal until already struck. Are they lying? Did they say don't tell us? Or did Biden's DOJ decide on own to protect Biden-Harris from fallout.  Every answer is indictment of Biden & Harris.

White House claims Biden 'played no role' in 9/11 mastermind's plea deal
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two others were reportedly spared the death penatly
By Michael Lee Fox News
Published August 1, 2024 2:27pm EDT

The White House said Thursday that President Biden "played no role" in the plea deal process for three of the masterminds behind the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

"The White House learned yesterday that the Convening Authority for Military Commissions entered into pretrial agreements, negotiated by military prosecutors, with KSM and other 9/11 defendants," a White House National Security Council spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "The President and the White House played no role in this process. The President has directed his team to consult as appropriate with officials and lawyers at the Department of Defense on this matter."

The statement comes after the Department of Defense announced Wednesday that prosecutors had reached a plea agreement with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two others, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin 'Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, for their role in masterminding the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

The agreement would help bring a close to a yearslong process, with the case being stuck in pretrial proceedings in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, with no trial in sight over concerns about the admissibility of evidence that was obtained through the CIA’s enhanced interrogation of the three defendants, which critics have denounced as torture.

The terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but family members of 9/11 victims were told by the Office of Military Commissions that the suspects would be spared the death penalty as part of the deal, according to a report from the New York Post.

While Biden did not play a role in the deal that was ultimately reached, the president rejected a proposal last year that would have spared the three suspects from the death penalty.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Wow.

NYT: “Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III on Friday relieved the overseer of the war court at Guantánamo Bay and revoked a plea agreement reached earlier this week with the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and two alleged accomplices.”

Is reneging on the 'deal' going to be a sufficient counter-weight to the repeal of Roe v Wade as an Election issue?

After all, it's only 90 days and change until Election Day.  And Donald Trump is the perfect 'MAGAphone'.

The question, why are any of these men alive, STILL?!!!!!!!!!!

And Trump having been POTUS, why were they not tried and executed year one of his presidency?  Year 2?  Year 3?  Year 4?

I am so sick and tired of these lame MFers that go to Washington and accomplish next to nothing.

The notion that a Marxist may well become our next POTUS, who possesses no intelligence whatsoever, if that does not scare every person in the knowing world, it sure as hell will six months into her 1st term.

Four men have served as POTUS since the attack of 9/11, and a big fat nothing in terms of bringing these dirt bags to justice.  If I lost a family member or friend on 9/11, I would be livid.
