It only took them 23 years of torture to get him to agree.
Convenient that's it's occuring right before the anniversary as well.
I like how the AP story says he's "accused" and "has agreed to plea". Pretty passive wording instead of "person who committed", etc. I don't think they fully believe it either.
That's how journalism is supposed to work. Being loosey-goosey with any definitive statements is how you end up with situations like people questioning whether or not JD Vance definitely absolutely 100% had sex with a couch.
AP are meant to be as neutral as possible
And how often do we see loaded language regardless. I'm praising them for being neutral when often times the media isn't. Especially with a topic like 9/11
It’s standard journalistic practice to refer to say that someone is accused or alleged to have committed crimes until they’re convicted. Even in obvious cases, such as mass shootings where the shooter is on video.
I wonder if Ron DeSantis had a go at him...
Did they need to torture them? They were already in prison for life. Pleading guilty just took the death penalty off the table.
Bruh…he was in Guantanamo Bay. It’s literally a torture chamber.
He’ll likely spend the rest of his life at Guantanamo now as a result of this plea. There’s apparently a law on the books now that makes it illegal to transfer Guantanamo prisoners to US prisons.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to appear to defend. I just meant they were going to hold him there for life anyways, which is also an abuse of the lack of justice system.
I've read quite a bit about the Gitmo experience. 20 years of mind games would turn many innocent people into just giving up. Some of these folk were snatched off the street by Pakistan security services on dodgy Intel. They then spend decades in cages being disbelieved. The only evidence against them is their own confession. The military's job was to secure that 'evidence'.
When do the torturers get put in court?
Shhh, we don't talk about that.
Hello, I'm ignorant. Was Osama not the mastermind of 9/11?
No.
"There is no hard evidence linking Bin Laden to the attacks of 9/11". -FBI
Of course, there is no evidence for KSM's involvement either. He was tortured more than 100 times over the course of a month. The 9/11 commission had no access to him, not even his "interview" transcripts. Everything we know is from the mouths of the CIA agents who interrogated him, who admitted that he was completely unreliable.
lol And people defend America. 🚬
Lol CIA doesn't operate under any American laws. I'll try and defend American armed forces all day but fuck all that the CIA does.
Why does he look like Ron Jeremy after getting a DUI?
