Report: 9/11 mastermind could escape death penalty with plea deal

The United States government is reportedly negotiating plea deals that could take the death penalty off the table for the five defendants charged with planning and executing the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, and four other Guantánamo Bay detainees including Ramzi Binalshibh, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, Walid bin Attash, and Ammar al-Baluchi were charged in 2008 with the murder of nearly 3,000 people, terrorism, providing material support to terrorism and plane hijacking, and various other crimes related to the terror attacks.

Prosecutors sought the death penalty for each of the five men, but they have evaded justice for their crimes for decades as their cases have progressed through the military commission system. The cases have been delayed by the defense's request for CIA evidence related to enhanced interrogation techniques, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 9/11 masterminds should be executed. Nothing less.

This is why you don't prosecute terrorists as Criminals.

The 9/11 masterminds should be executed. Nothing less.

And it should've happened the day after they were captured. Military tribunal only, no appeal, and right to the gallows. Use the same rope on all of them too, just to save the money.

Let them go to their 72 virgins -- which could very well be male. (Something I'm pretty sure they didn't count on.)

I think he should be released into Afghanistan: from a C-130, naked, coated with lard, no parachute, from 35,000 feet.

It's a nice thought, Pete, but there are at least a couple of problems with that sentence.

First, the C-130 Hercules J model has a ceiling of only 28,000 feet. And that's the model with the highest ceiling.

Second, think of the poor loadmaster who has to bundle up those scum, wrap them in plastic so as to not smear up the interior, and actually jettison them. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Far easier to string 'em up and dump 'em in a pine box. Dig a hole using a backhoe and plant 'em. 

(Little Rock AFB, home of the C-130, is right in my back yard.)

Well that just spoils everything! Then again, he might not die from lack of oxygen at high altitude and feel his final SPLAT.

I'd agree that the problem of disposal of their bodies (we're talking more than one, right?) is alleviated, even at 25,000 ft.

But that poor loadmaster! C'mon, Pete, have a heart!

We could relieve the poor loadmaster(s) of some of the mess by duct taping a ball gag made of bacon into the bad guys' soup coolers instead of smearing lard all over them.

I really like the idea of using copious amounts of shrink wrap to keep the bad guys contained, though.
