A public court is more likely to let them go free. We can't convict them in a trial following our laws. Now that is political suicide.
Those terrorists are the third rail. I'm surprised the Dems got this close to a plea deal just because it's the right thing to do and the only reasonable way out.
Maybe November or December when there's time for nuance to sink in over soundbites.
Honestly most should be free. I know it is political suicide like making police reform. You don't want to sound the dog whistle for the racist
You know they orchestrated 9/11, right?
No, we don't know that. First, not even the military claims that all of the detainies orchestrated 9/11 (which is a much stronger claim then merely being involved).
Second, do we really trust the portion of military that violated domestic law, violated international human rights law, lied to congress about it, and fought for decades against bringing cases to trial?
Is it more likely than not that a given inmate there is a terrorist? Probably. But that is not the standard for indefinite imprisonment.
