If McVeigh can draw the death card, then so should Rosie O'Donnell the Sheik.

The alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks and two other terrorists being held on Guantánamo Bay will be spared the death penalty under a deal with prosecutors, it was revealed Wednesday.
The announcement came as a bitter pill to swallow for victims’ families who have anxiously awaited the conclusion of the case for nearly 24 years — many of whom felt death was the only appropriate punishment for the perpetrators of the heinous attacks.
A spokesperson for the Office of Military Commissions (OMC), which is prosecuting the case, confirmed it had entered into pre-trial agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — the accused principal architect of the al Qaeda attacks — and two alleged co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, all of whom have been held at the US military prison on the coast of Cuba since 2003.
“In exchange for removal of the death penalty as a possible punishment, these three Accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged offenses, including the murder of the 2,976 people listed in the charge sheet,” said a letter signed by Rear Adm. Aaron C. Rugh, chief prosecutor for the OMC, and sent to victims’ families Wednesday.

“ Rugh, a longtime colleague said later, was “a rock star” in the military justice community — slated for promotion to captain and considered a strong contender to eventually become the Navy’s chief judge. Then The Washington Post revealed that Rugh had given false information to a board of officers deciding whether a Marine he had prosecuted for sexual misconduct should be expelled from the service. Now his future — and potentially dozens of criminal appeals he has overseen — is being threatened by the fallout from the flawed investigation into Marine Maj. Mark Thompson, a former instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy convicted of having sex with two female midshipmen.”
Trump should repudiate this plea deal every single day until he’s inaugurated.

Why is this happening more than 20 years after the crime?
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Unless there are some extenuating factors I’m not aware of, this should not have taken so long.
OTOH, if KSM and the other defendants spilled their guts about the inner workings of Al Qaeda and other Islamic terror groups and that intel proved very very valuable, I might agree with a life sentence.
Almost 25 years since 9/11, and they can’t figure out a way to execute that POS. A country with a backbone wouldn’t give him a trial.
He should be hanged tonight... summary judgement and execution.
The deal probably included KSM helping them with planning another attempt on Trump’s life.
Nope...he has to die. The evil SOB murdered 3000 people on 9/11.
And we let him in as a guest. He went to college here. And this was his thanks.
It’s a slap in the face to keep him alive and let him have a Koran or whatever.
These two had no business in U.S. custody for prosecution in a criminal court.
And almost every piece of evidence against them would have been thrown out of court in a trial anyway.
At times I long for Wild West justice. After being declared guilty KSM should be taken to the nearest tree and hanged.
That Bush left office with KSM alive will forever be his disgrace.
...... My take? .... Whomever they are connected to ... Has either done or has brokered a deal and agreed to do something for the Biden/Obama/NWO Deep State .... Just Sayin'
.
...preferably by rusty piano wire tight but not too tight.
Long and slow suffering.
No. They need to move those ragheads out of Gitmo, via execution. Need to make room for a few current DC residents a year from now.
One of his disgraces.
Probably let them go if they agree to support QueMala for pResident.
If McVeigh can draw the death card, then so should Rosie O'Donnell the Sheik.
If irc— it was the wingman for obamaumao, Eric Holder who converted this prosecution from what the Bush Administration had planned. Holder— working to help the scum islamofascists who did 9-11 setting up the installation of a muslim Marxist obama from that beachhead attack- leading to this ridiculous end result.
We at our peon level will NEVER know (unless someone as disgusted as we are spills it) if this POS gave up alqaeda vast networks, people methods and realities, or not. But he should not be released (time served) for the acts he committed. It took a lot to find this clown, and put him in Gitmo. He should remain in solitary for another 50 years minimum— no freedom. And if he didn’t give anything of value up-— toss him off the cliffs of Gitmo to the very large sharks in the waters right there.
That Bush left office with KSM alive will forever be his disgrace.”
Add it to the list.
Can’t help wonder how much money Biden and cronies are getting out of this deal.
