Brett Eagleson, whose father, Bruce Eagleson, was killed when one of the hijacked planes destroyed the south tower of the World Trade Center, called the events that forced the sidelining of al-Shibh’s prosecution “another example of the lack of justice that the 9/11 community has received at the hands of our own government.”

“They wrongfully tortured these individuals. We don’t stand for torture. Because of that we’re denied a trial. We’re denied true justice,” said Eagleson, who leads a group of victims’ families pushing the U.S. to release more of the documents of its investigations into the attacks.

I didn't realize the trials were still going on. And they really brutalized the suspects.

Trust me, this shit is still going on. It’s just another example of how broken the system is.

Remember when Obama wanted to close Gitmo, and couldn't do it after eight years? That's what I think about when I hear the words "deep state"
