Defense secretary abruptly revokes plea deal with alleged 9/11 mastermind KSM, co-conspirators
Information on 9/11 is crucial to the families of the victims and the public.
As Brett Eagleson, the president of 9/11 Justice, puts it, “While we acknowledge the decision to avoid the death penalty, our primary concern remains access to these individuals for information. These plea deals should not perpetuate a system of closed-door agreements, where crucial information is hidden without giving the families of the victims the chance to learn the full truth.”
As part of the plea deal, the defendants agreed to answer written questions from the surviving victims and victims’ families about their roles and reasons for conducting the attacks.
Information on 9/11 is crucial also to the Pentagon for security reasons and for the War in Afghanistan.
