Bill Summary

A bill to address the plea agreements for certain individuals detained at Guantanamo, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill addresses legal proceedings and detention conditions for three specific individuals associated with the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks: Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin 'Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi. The bill nullifies any previous plea agreements that might prevent these individuals from being tried for the 9/11 attacks, explicitly allowing them to be prosecuted under military commissions (Chapter 47A of title 10, United States Code). The legislation also ensures that the death penalty remains a potential sentencing option in their trials. Furthermore, the bill mandates strict confinement conditions for these individuals, requiring them to be held at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in solitary confinement, with no contact with foreign nationals and limited psychological treatment, and prohibiting their transfer to the continental United States or any other country. These provisions appear designed to maintain maximum legal flexibility for prosecution and strict containment of these alleged 9/11 terrorist suspects.
