U.S. military prosecutors are reportedly negotiating potential plea deals with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other conspirators imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay.
The plea deals may allow the five dependents to escape a potential death penalty, according to CBS. Mohammed is widely credited with being the architect of the 9/11 terror attacks. The other four defendants are Ramzi Binalshibh, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, Walid bin Attash and Ammar al-Baluchi.
Attorneys for the defendants reportedly say they would be willing to enter a guilty plea in exchange for taking the death penalty off the table, as well as for getting treatment for alleged torture they experienced while in CIA custody.
The CIA held each of the five men for interrogation prior to their arrival in Guantanamo in 2006. Critics argue the CIA's methods amounted to illegal torture.

Well, they’re not as dangerous as the January 6th MAGA people...
Yes, those rascally White MAGA terrorists have taken down
20 skyscrapers. Just ask our Communists.
Because murdering thousands of Americans doesn't
warrant the death penalty I guess.
Only woke Democrats could conceive of leniency for
that ugly group of muslim mass murderers. Shows Dems
complete contempt for America. Americans are nothing
but doormats for the Dems to step on.
Further proof of an insane administration! Article 25.
This country doesn’t have the balls to execute them. Rudy would do it. He offered to execute Bin Laden. Would black America support it? Think about it. The Kenyan?

If the Feds agree to that treatment, they are admitting that torture really took place. Then there’d be lawsuits, Muslim cries for revenge, etc.
Just say “no” to any deal.
You never negotiate with terrorists it’s a sign of great weakness it allows them to carry on with their goal.
It smells like Biden is around

On June 12, 1942 a U-boat landed a team of German saboteurs on Long Island. They were soon captured. Less then two months later six of them were executed.
Say what you want about FDR. But he sure knew how to run a war.
This is likely part of the rationale for the plea - to use the case to bash Bush admin waterboarding.
They are probably going to make a deal getting Trojan Sheik and his Fightin’ Mullahs off if they “flip” and announce it was President Trump who led the attack on 9/11. The trouble is, 47% of the morons and maggots living on this land mass will believe it. They will all then be given Government jobs in Jo Jo’s Brandon’s Regime.
Swell. I’m sure that amounts to Justice somewhere
Just release him and give him $1 billion if he promises not to sue….
How can supposed “torture” be against the laws of war (and peace) when supposedly performed on illegal combatants? Exactly what right do they have, given they did not follow the long established international rules of war?
They should release him and drop him off in the country of his choice, from about 30,000 feet.
They pretty much have to release him, they need the cell space for those Ultra MAGA terrorists who are The Greatest Threat To Our Democracy.
Why are this scum still alive?
We live in bizarro world.
To be fair, he was a man of his time. American is not the same as then. An FDR born decades later would probably be like Democrats of today.
No deals! Try, convict, and execute.
