Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revoked the plea agreements for the 9/11 terrorist attack mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two others and relieved the official in charge of military courts in Guantanamo Bay.

The move puts the possibility of the death penalty back on the table for the trio. It was announced in a memorandum on Friday.

On Wednesday, the Department of Defense reached a plea deal with Mohammed, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Ramzi Bin al Shibh, three men accused of planning the attacks. The details of the deal weren't made public.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates

obama tried to get the 9/11 terrorists freed when he was in office. They were to be released to a jail in Egypt where he knew they would be released later.

Remember that obama wanted to have a mosque built near the WTC site. Biden was involved then and now and this was obamas last chance to poke America in the eye.

Austin flips to look consistent with Kamala’s recent flips: Fracking, ICE, “tough on crime.”

Or maybe Secretary Austin’s dormant patriotic reflex kicked in.

Democrats just lapsed into sanity and realized a presidential election is around the corner.

Bingo!

This plea deal was approved by someone in the WH. It had to be. None of those political appointees would even consider making a decision like this without Presidential approval. No one in that bunch of Pentagon suck ups would dare to do so without it.

This is on whoever is pulling Biden’s strings. It’s not like that dementia ridden Depends filling idiot is actually making any decisions.

Ha. Yes I remember. But he didn’t say clean this time.

Here is Biden. Two weeks ago. He couldn’t remember Austin’s name and called him “the black mam.”

This probably did him in.

It’s unusual to have a good news dump on Friday.

According to Clay Travis, Austin wasn't even aware of the deal when it was made.

Clay Travis:

The Secretary of Defense has withdrawn the life in prison plea agreement with the 9/11 defendants. Question for military procedure people: how is it possible this plea deal could have been agreed to without him knowing and/or signing off on it? Isn’t this super strange?


Gee...

Why would someone in his command think it was okay to do something without telling the boss? Hmmmm???

politicization of armed forces pure and simple. he apparently needs the job more than his dignity. apparently acc to Kirby admin knew about this a few days before it hit the news. and they DIDN’T derail it IMMEDIATELY??? really? says quite a lot. no moral compass whatsoever.
