The global manhunt for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, al-Qaida’s No. 3 leader, took 18 months. But America’s attempt to bring him to justice, in a legal sense, has taken much longer.
The latest setback came last month when pretrial hearings scheduled for early fall were canceled. The delay was one more in a string of disappointments for relatives of the nearly 3,000 victims of the attack. They’ve long hoped that a trial would bring closure and perhaps resolve unanswered questions.
David Kelley, a former U.S. attorney in New York who co-chaired the Justice Department’s nationwide investigation into the attacks, called the delays and failure to prosecute “an awful tragedy for the families of the victims.” A Senate investigation later concluded the interrogations didn’t lead to any valuable intelligence. But it has sparked endless pretrial litigation over whether FBI reports on their statements can be used against them — a process not subject to speedy trial rules used in civilian courts.
The passage of time hasn’t dulled the memories of the victims’ families or dampened their interest in witnessing justice.
