Crime 9/11 families call Biden admin's deal to spare terrorists the death penalty a "sickening betrayal'

Furious 9/11 families have urged the Biden administration not to spare the attackers the death penalty and have demanded the release of documents that could finally implicate Saudi Arabia.

Brett Eagleson, who was 15 when he lost his father in the South Tower almost 22 years ago, called the proposed plea deal for the suspects awaiting trial at Guantanamo Bay a 'sickening betrayal.'

For Eagleson, a plea deal would mean the suspects can avoid trial and avoid revealing answers relatives of the 2,977 Americans killed in the attack have had an agonizing wait to hear.

'To the 9/11 victims, we've been fighting for 22 years for peace, closure and accountability,' he told DailyMail.com. 'We need to hear what KSM (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) and these other detainees have to say.'

Earlier this month, the Pentagon sent a letter to the families of 9/11 victims explaining that plea deals are being explored for chief architect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four of his alleged co-conspirators.

The agreements would see them 'accept criminal responsibility for their actions and plead guilty....in exchange for not receiving the death penalty.'

This week, a group of 2,000 9/11 family members slammed the plans and wrote a letter to the Biden administration demanding they drop the plea deals.

Sad situation for the families. I don't think they will release the documents because they not only implicate Saudi Arabia but also Israel and perhaps some American officials.

If their crime isn't worthy of the death penalty, what is?

My goodness “accept criminal responsibility”!?

It wasn’t a “crime”. It was a terrorist attack. An act of war.

It’s not like we don’t know who they are and what they did! That’s nuts. They should be hung publicly and it should have happened a long time ago.

Aside from people who are just morally against the death penalty, how do you defend this?

It's wild that Saudi Arabia was involved in 9/11 and not only did we not attack them, but they're still our 'allies.'

'Twas an inside job.

Joe simply can't execute the former owners who had increased WTC insurance coverage mere days before the planes flew in.

It's not wild, it's simply ignorance. The media never covered that aspect of it and anyone talking about 9/11 beyond the official story quickly brands the person a conspiracy theorist (aka, crazy person who should not be listened to).

Is the death penalty worse than being stuck in some CIA blacksite for the rest of your life?

America, Israel, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia were all involved

You can't. Literally can't. They have the power and money. Saudi Arabia is low key the most powerful country on this planet.
You go to war with them, they cannot only nuke you, they'll get every single one of their allies to attack you and they have people in EVERY developed country just waiting for the green light. They own the planet. Money goes a long way.

The family's want closure, I think that's the point here

Meanwhile, if you read about this from a non garbage source you'll see that some of the families specifically want this as a way to get closure rather than wait for trials that more than likely will never happen.

The US could wipe Saudi Arabia off the map within days if they wanted to

 

[KoChang]

Biden will definitely spare their lives. As grotesque as the Saudis are, the American government isn't far behind. Don't forget that the Americans have supplied the majority of weapons used in the extermination of the Yemeni people.

You're right, but can we blame the families to want more?

What source is that? How many is "some"?

Money aka oil talks

Saudi Arabia, enough said

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

I think it should be Bush Jr to issue to death penalty instead. Certainly no blood on his hands.
