For 22 years, my family and I — and most of all my sister, Laura, and the nearly 3,000 others who were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks — have been denied justice.
The betrayal began with the Bush administration’s 2003 decision to take the men accused of planning and supporting the attacks to CIA “black sites,” where they were tortured.
Then the administration compounded its shameful decision by sending the accused to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and attempting to conduct a trial in an inadequate military-justice system, rather than in federal court.
