The 9/11 plea deal which would have sentenced the top three we have in custody responsible for 9/11 has been canceled by Austin.

Defense Secretary Revokes Plea Deal for Accused Sept. 11 Plotters

Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III assumed direct oversight of the case and effectively put the death penalty back on the table.

Personally I feel like the military commission has been an unmitigated shit show and the case is forever tainted by the years of CIA torture before these three were transferred to gitmo. The plea deal would have seen them locked up for life and allowed the families of victims to ask them questions. Feels like the wrong call to revoke the deal.

23 years later, who cares if the death penalty is anywhere?
Lock them in a cell and throw away the key. Done.
They don't need headlines. They need proverbial burial and silence.

They could always go for a helicopter ride...a tour of the ocean...

This should have been put to rest YEARS AGO!

Take them out back and spend a bullet on each.

I mean if you like the Russian legal system I guess those are options.

Why give them the martyrdom their religion exalts? Shove them into supermax and throw away the damn key. Much crueler, much more fitting.

I don't think they can be sent to supermax because of a congressional freakout years ago.

Ok, dig a hole on Gitmo and kindly escort them in. Throw down a couple of thousand calories of crap to them each day, plus some dollar store TP and a dangly 99 cent car air freshener . . . you know, because we care!

I also feel that big butch baby killers like these guys secretly love death metal music. Plus, years of detention have left them with hearing loss. So, crank it up to 11 and never turn it off! That would be withholding of us.

I was just going to suggest 24x7 repeats of all of Trump's speeches.

With the current scrotus I'm sure it will pass muster.
