Good Sense, at last
[US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin
has revoked a pre-trial agreement
reached with men accused of plotting
the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks.
In a memo on Friday, Mr Austin
also said he was revoking the authority
of the officer overseeing the military court
who signed the agreement on Wednesday.
The original deal, which would reportedly
have spared the alleged attackers
the death penalty, was criticised by
some families of victims.
The 9/11 attacks in New York, Virginia and
Pennsylvania were the deadliest assault
on US soil since the 1941 Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
where 2,400 people were killed.
They sparked the "War on Terror" and the
invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.]
