No surprise here. Biden’s handlers likely want this whole thing to go away, as does everyone else, which is why it has gone on so long without these jihadis being tried or sentenced. No one wants to deal with jihadis; they’d rather pretend they don’t exist.
“Biden administration tells 9/11 families that attack mastermind, 4 others could be spared death penalty,” by Victor Nava, New York Post, August 16, 2023:
The Pentagon and FBI have notified some of the families of victims of the 9/11 attacks that suspected terrorist mastermind Kalid [sic] Sheikh Mohammed and four other defendants could be spared the death penalty under plea agreements being considered by the Biden administration.
The notice came in the form of a letter, obtained by the Associated Press, that was sent to 9/11 families as the government explores how to resolve the more than decade-long prosecution of the alleged terrorists.
“The Office of the Chief Prosecutor has been negotiating and is considering entering into pre-trial agreements,” the letter informs families, adding that while no plea agreement “has been finalized, and may never be finalized, it is possible that a [pre-trial agreement] in this case would remove the possibility of the death penalty.”
The Associated Press reports that in the letter, dated Aug. 1, military prosecutors pledge to consider the views of the 9/11 families before accepting any plea deals, and the note asks recipients to respond to the FBI’s victim services division by Monday with any comments or questions about the potential agreements.
The case involving Mohammed and the four others currently being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has been mired in legal disputes and delays, particularly concerning the “enhanced interrogation techniques” used by CIA operatives after the men were apprehended….
No trial date has been set for the five suspected 9/11 conspirators.
The Trump administration had previously ruled out any plea bargains with the suspected terrorists, who have been held at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp since 2006….

If they had been treated as soldiers in a war, shooting at them would have been the way …
bo wants these guys set free….they are his fellow mozlulms. he set many free when he sat in the oval office pretending. Now, his clown sits there, pretending and he has cover for his shenanigans.
‘the victims’ families will say what they want….and it will be ignored.
PRCS says
The death penaly is too quick. Too easy.
Keep them in a U.S. prison until the day each of them dies.
Kepha says
Sorry, but the US taxpayer has already supported these goons long nough. Hang ’em high.
somehistory says
I agree, Kepha, but I’m not sorry to see it this way.
PMK says
Keep them in GITMO until the day they die and bury them there. Do not bring them to the mainland. In Cuba, they are out of sight, out of mind. No pictures like that of Tsarnaev giving America the middle finger. They have effectively been spared the death penalty. They must never be set free.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Don’t bury them there. Do what was done to Adolf Eichmann: cremate them, then scatter their remains somewhere in the middle of the sea. There should be no shrines for jihadists – present or future – to pay homage to
Ade says
They already have been if they’re still alive
FYI says
That photo:always looks like some muslim who has had too many infidel beers on a haram night on the town.
But to be fair he did go to his mosque earlier…surely his allah won’t mind?I mean he is tying to be a good muslim..honest.Surely allah will not mind all that groping of infidel women..but hey,they were not wearing hijabs.
OLD GUY says
It appears that our legal system is set up for one thing. LAWYERS, the longer you stretch these death sentences out the more money the lawyers on both side get paid. The more you have a swinging door criminal justice system with criminals being released with no bail the more crime you have the more lawyers you need the more money they make. And then you have the lawyers who become politicians like good old Joe.
Jean Gordon says
Right on!
Emilie Green says
Three weeks from now will mark 22 years since 9/11. And some of those responsible are still alive today. That tells us all we need to know. There will be no temporal punishment.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
That is why I lamented the capture of KSM, Abu Zubeida, Ramzi bin al Shib,…. and rejoiced at Osama, Zawahiri, al-Baghdadi and Zarqawi all getting killed. At least in the latter cases, we didn’t have to waste millions keeping them alive, trying them, providing them their own counsels as well as cushy lives at Gitmo
I just hope the trial date doesn’t arrive before this Dem administration is history
Hrb says
Shoot this piece of garbage, or hang him, run him over with a Mac truck, chop his useless head off.
James Lincoln says
Why is it when I see a picture of KSM, I can still smell his stench?
And then, I have to take a long, hot shower…
