It’s Rebel, so probably safe to assume they have a fundraiser of some sort set up to grift off of this.

IMO this smells political. It would be bad right before the election for Biden’s government to be seen to be entering into a plea deal that spares Mohammed from execution, notwithstanding the absolute mockery the military commissions make of the rule of law. Odds of this succesfully being prosecuted to the extent of a death penalty being held up are slim… The military commissions are a flagrantly abusive legal process, notwithstanding that he’s likely guilty as sin. This always should have been a clean civil criminal prosecution with everything on the up and up.

Anyway- a surprise twist late on a Friday.
