Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday overturned a plea agreement reached earlier this week for the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and two other defendants, reinstating the death penalty as a possible outcome.
The decision comes just two days after the military commission at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, announced it had reached plea deals with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two alleged accomplices in the attacks.
Letters sent to families of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the al-Qaida attacks stated that the plea agreement stipulated the three would serve life sentences, according to the AP.

Watch Walter Veith’s TOTAL ONSLAUGHT SERIES, A NEW WORLD ORDER and see the truth of 911.
Those imprisined at Guantanamo Bay are not the masterminds of 9/11. They were nowhere near the 9/11 site on Sept 11 and had nothing to do with the bringing down of those buildings. The implosion of Building 7 especially had nothing to do with these prisoners.
Stop calling this guy a “mastermind”!! He is a murderer who conned some religious fanatics into committing suicide.
The chick who crafted this plea deal and subsequently was dismissed made the rank of Brigadier General just a short time ago (JAG). She is now out on a pension at that new grade level, which she never really earned by time in service at that level. Nor by her obvious merit.
Hard to want to die for your country as a patriot, when buffoons continue to run the show at the top pay grade levels.
