US prosecutors have reached a deal with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Pentagon said Wednesday, reportedly involving a guilty plea in exchange for avoiding a death penalty trial.
The agreements with Mohammed and two other accused moves their long-running cases toward resolution. These have been bogged down in pre-trial maneuverings for years while the defendants remained held at the Guantanamo Bay military base in Cuba. A Pentagon statement said no details of the deal would be immediately made public at this time, but the New York Times reported

Of course the details won't be released until after the election. There didn't need to be a deal.

Only deal offered should have been - plead guilty and we won’t dip the firing squad bullets in pig fat.

Why? He didn't give almost 3,000 people and untold suffering by thousands more with injuries and loss of loved ones a "plea'' deal. A bullet dipped in Hog fat would be appropriate.

Sign the plea deal, say you lied, and then stick him in front of a firing squad. This guy should be dead. How many Americans died because of 9/11? Would the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq ever have happened if we were never attacked on 9/11? Don't let this guy skate.

From Amir Tsarfati: “ Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind behind the attack, and two other al-Qaeda operatives who worked with him, agreed to a plea deal in which they will plead guilty and be sent to prison, but will not be sentenced to death.
PATHETIC!”

Another example of the Demented Fuhrer and Attorney General Merrick "Gestapo" Garland siding with the murderers.

This evil vermin should have been executed 20 years ago after being wrung out of all intel value. Bullet, drop into the sea off of Gitmo for the sharks.

It should be 3000 life sentences served consecutively because 'life' doesn't necessarily mean 'till you die' in US prisons.

1) they should have been shot as fish bait (per #8) on day 2 of their stay at Gitmo. Out of sight. Out of mind.
2) this may sway some minds of New Yorkers who know PDJT would never have allowed this to happen.
Re 1) above, now they may be collateral in other potential “prisoner swaps.”
If any one doubts the malevolence and evil of the communists in power in our government, doubt no more.

He'll wind up replacing Mayorkas as DHS Secretary, if Harris is anointed president. American leftists love them some Islamic terrorists. Birds of a feather.
