The news of the Biden regime's latest stunning betrayal of the American people broke on Wednesday: the mastermind of the 9/11 jihad attacks that murdered nearly three thousand people and sent America into the spiral of decline and confusion that has brought us to the present situation, along with two of his henchmen, was given a sweetheart plea deal that would spare them the death penalty.
Shouldn't these jihadis have wanted the death penalty? After all, the Qur'an promises a place in paradise to those who "Kill and are killed" for Allah.
The Times noted that "Mr. Austin's decision brought relief to family members of victims who had expressed anger over the deal." That's great, but was Austin overcome by a sudden feeling of compassion for these people? Or did he experience a sudden burst of patriotism that made him outraged over the deal?
The deal to remove the death penalty from the 9/11 plotters has been in the works for a long time.
The New York Times reported back in March 2022 that "Prosecutors have opened talks with lawyers for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and his four co-defendants to negotiate a potential plea agreement that would drop the possibility of execution, according to people with knowledge of the discussions." Austin must have known that it was in the works, and yet never made a move to stop these discussions until over two years later, when the deal was finally announced.
Austin likely withdrew the deal not because it blindsided him and he was overcome with righteous indignation, but because the reaction to it was so uniformly negative.
On Thursday, Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, wrote to Austin saying that the deal was "Unconscionable," and declaring: "I, along with much of our nation and Congress, are deeply shocked and angered by news that the terrorist mastermind and his associates who planned the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, which killed nearly 3000 innocent people, were offered a plea deal."
