Austin was ‘surprised’ by 9/11 plea deals, Pentagon says
by Brad Dress - 08/05/24 1:01 PM ET
 

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was “surprised” by the announcement of a plea deal between a U.S. military commission and three accused plotters of the 9/11 attacks, a Pentagon spokesperson said Monday, adding that Austin wants to see the case go to trial

Austin, who revoked the plea deal Friday, “was certainly surprised as we all were,” said deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh.


“This is not something that the secretary was consulted on,” Singh told reporters at a Monday briefing. “We were not aware that the prosecution or defense would enter the terms of the plea agreement.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It would appear the WH and Pentagon still aren't communicating effectively, just like when Austin had his surgery and failed to let it be known. :pondering:
