The Quote of The Day

As a girl, I dreamt of this. I read book after book, and I traveled in my mind. Now, I wake up to the sound of tropical rains and colorful birds.”

Smoke pours from the twin towers of the World Trade Center after they were hit by two hijacked airliners in a terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001, in New York. Nearly 3,000 people were killed after two hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center; one hit the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia; and one crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

September 11, 2001 attack repercussions continue to this day. NYT: Plea Deal for KSM and Other 9/11 Defendants May Return

Lloyd Austin giveth, Lloyd Austin taketh away, Lloyd Austin ... forced to giveth back? On the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the New York Times offers some bad news on the lawfare front against the mass murderers that plotted and funded the worst terror attack on the US.

Five weeks ago, Austin's commanding officer in charge of military courts got relieved after approving a plea deal with the trio, including mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Austin then ordered the plea deals revoked, sending the cases back to the Guantanamo Bay courts created in a series of legal spasms during the Bush administration to deal with these defendants. Some wondered at the time whether Austin had the authority to undo a deal that the court had already accepted.

As it turns out, the court wonders that, too:

KSM should have never been brought into custody. (Resisting arrest can have tragic endings.) But since he was. The only plea deal should have been his choice of firing squad or hanging. That this barbarian is still alive is morally unacceptable.
