Terrorism Wins Out - Again!

It was widely reported Wednesday afternoon by the New York Post and other media sources that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammad and his associates, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi  will enter into a plea deal to escape the death penalty for causing the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans, Brits and other nationals at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Shanksville.

The terror suspects will be spared the death penalty as part of the plea agreement, according to three relatives of 9/11 victims who were told about the deal by the Office of Military Commissions.

It is not surprising that with only less than 100 days to go until Election Day that these terrorists, who have lived in Gitmo for years, have decided to make this deal. They are smart enough to know that the United States would not continue to feed and house them for free forever and that a weak Biden will not be President in 2025.

They must believe that a re-elected President Trump will not enter into any arrangement with them. So, their best option is to make the deal now while a more “sympathetic” administration still is willing to forego real justice. And they will live in relative comfort on the dime of the American taxpayer for the rest of their lives.

Sadly, the families of the 9/11 victims will be left with no recourse and will be forced to accept less than a full measure of punishment for their years of suffering and loss. And the government will have reneged on its promise it made almost twenty-three years ago.

What a deal for terrorism!
