This begs lots of questions. But in the end hardly surprising. The US is not the country it used to be. We must stop expecting the present administration, like our government or ant western governments to have virtue and moral principles. They control the language so modify sin and danger and firmly put the blame on the ‘far right’! I read a speech by Victor Orban yesterday which perfectly describes the world. It is a multi polar world where the US is not supreme if it continues on the trajectory it is gas embarked on.

Tragic and heinous though the decision is we should mot be surprised. Perhaps the conspiracy theorists were right?

Why weren’t they tried and hung immediately after 9/11. How outrageous not only for the victims families of 9/11 but for each and every American For democracy and moral liberty. Nothing nothing anymore surprises me. It’s frightening and sick

"When a government fails to - or refuses to - protect honest citizens"... it's called treason.

"It was not immediately known where the men will be incarcerated following their pleas, though it’s not hard to imagine this Democrat administration will put them up at a midtown hotel and issue them with fully charged debit cards!"

Yeah - fully charged debit cards paid for by the families of the victims of the 9/11 attack, via their tax! These men (The terrorists) should not be incarcerated. They should be incinerated! They should be burnt at the stake! Given how their victims died, this would, after all, be a most proportionate response! And isn't that what the left want regarding terrorist attacks? A proportionate response? It would save money too, which is a bonus.

"Why would US officials do this?"

Good question. Some people, widely regarded as Conspiracy Theorists, believe the 9/11 attack was an inside job. I have always thought that was nonsense. But given this recent response to this attack by US officials, one seriously does have to wonder.

They could always let them out and monitor them with drones like the wog did.

Wowsers! What a mess. How did we ever get here? How is it even possible that we got here - proves that evil rules our world these days. For shame! The only upside is these people will receive their eternal just deserts eventually.

This is incredible! These thugs are outright criminals and not too long ago would have been hanged or sent to the electric chair. The government of USA should be charged with treason.

It’s incredible alright, but what I’m finding even more incredible is that these three miscreants are still waiting in the wings some twenty three years after the event. Why weren’t they tried and executed decades ago?

Yes, well, that's a very good question, Craig.

My niece arrived in NYC to attend an acting school. She arrived one week before 9/11. It was extremely distressing.

I’ve been to the 9/11 memorial. It’s quite an eye opener and it’s difficult to imagine how these terrorists haven’t already suffered the death penalty. Bring back the death penalty for serious crimes I say here in Aus as well.

When I first started reading this article I thought it was a joke and was waiting to get to the punchline, but then I checked and its the real thing.

Watching from the sidelines as the US self destructs is extremely distressing and its only a matter of time till the US as it currently exists ceases to exist and may well split into several countries similar to the former Yugoslavia ( my prediction )

I think you are onto something there.

What an absolute insult to the victims themselves, some had to jump out of windows in the World Trade Centre. Similarly, we had a Coalition government who promised any Australian who joins ISIS will never be allowed back into Australia. If they try, they will be charged and prosecuted under our anti-terrorism laws. Labor welcomed them back. An absolute insult to democracy and safety.

When you look at the "Australians" that went to ISIS is there any surprise that the wog would let them back,they probably are related to half of Tony Burkes voters .

If they had been white blokes that went to fight for the Rhodesians in their army they would have been prosecuted under Frasers (a great "eminent "person who also let 1000s of lebbos in ) Foreign incursions act which was designed to stop Aussies fighting in foreign wars. (only ,of course it if it supported a white English speaking government )

The ALP is the bane of Australia. I can't understand why so many people vote for that lot.

And the pro-Palestine ranting 'useful idiots' should be added to that number.

Me either. There is not a single thing I can think of where I think, well done Labor. If I was a terrorist supporter, I'd be loud and proud. What does that say. Let's not forget the economy. I could rant on and on.
