Alleged 9/11 mastermind agrees to plead guilty | LiveNOW from FOX

The Department of Defense said Wednesday that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of al-Qaida’s Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, agreed to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty. Mohammed and two accomplices, Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi, are expected to enter the pleas at the military commission at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as soon as next week. Authorities captured Mohammed in 2003.

Dan Caldwell, distinguished Professor of Political Science Emeritus at Pepperdine University, joins LiveNOW's Austin Westfall to discuss.

“AGREES TO PLEA GULTY” our country is a joke…

[mylocus]

Are we really supposed to take this seriously?

[starlanight]

I hate the way the government thinks WE are all stupid as 💩💩💩💩💩!!!

[hydrashieldbasementservice]

My spidy sense tells me this guy was no mastermind.

[Mia-cek-my_BIO-uj]

Imagine skrrrting the 💀 penalty for 911!?!? 😂 wtf.

[michaelshelton]

Whatever happened to "We don't negotiate with Terrorists"? This man was the mastermind of the death of over 3, 000 Americans. Men, women and children. What are we even doing offering plea agreements 23 years later?!

[constablehaze]

What Happened with Osama Bin Laden being the Mastermind? Why was he assassinated but not these 3

[tc]

Isn’t that the dude they tortured for years until he admitted to a bunch of stuff?

[DaveDuncanMusic]

So our own government pleads guilty? Or just a scapegoat?

[PlainSight]

Imagine skrrrting the 💀 penalty for 911!?!? 😂 wtf

[carlospalmerin]

Our justice system treats terrorists better than own people smh

[opeth]

How does someone avoid the death penalty with that many dead? They're way beyond a serial killer. This was even premeditated. FJB!

[wendylm]

If plotting to kill 3k people, and succeeding at it doesn’t constitute the death penalty…then wtf

[jaygunny]

Hes been locked up for almost 20 years and hasn't had a trial and just now pleads guilty?

[JH-lbkc]

He doesn't look like a central banker to me.

[johnsavvy]

wait... I thought Osama was the mastermind??

[EM-igib]

So let me guess this straight...
After 23 yrs of being in prison and being interrogated in some midevil way....
They decided to say " ok ok I did it!"
LOL..smh...

[IceTTom]

Is this literally the only photo of this man ever in existence?!!? 🤨

[Danyella]

So 22 years later he Agrees to plea guilty? That doesn’t even make sense

[jaygunny]

So he put explosives in the towers as well?
