A military judge on Wednesday ruled that a plea deal the Defense Department made with alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two co-defendants are legal, the Associated Press reported.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revoked the plea deal in August after uproar. The deal was approved by retired Brig. Gen. Susan K. Escallier. Specifics of the plea deal were never released, but the New York Times previously reported that it removed the possibility of the death penalty.
An anonymous government official confirmed to the AP that the deal would eliminate the death penalty in exchange for guilty pleas at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The deal would be in effect for Mohammed, and co-defendants Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi.
Further details of the judge’s order were not immediately available because Air Force Col. Matthew McCall has not publicly posted or officially announced the ruling. But a report from a legal blog indicated that McCall ruled Austin lacked the authority to reverse the plea deals.
Prosecutors allege that Mohammad presented the idea of hijacking the planes and flying them into the towers to Osama bin Laden in 1996. Hawsawi has been accused of helping the hijackers with finances and travel arrangements related to the attack, while Attash is accused of providing them with combat training. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
