US Defense Department appeals decision allowing 9/11 suspects to plead guilty, avoid death penalty.

The US Defense Department will appeal a military judge's decision that allows the 9/11 defendants, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, to plead guilty and avoid the death penalty. The judge ruled that the plea deals, which would result in life in prison, were valid, despite Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's attempt to nullify them. The appeal seeks to challenge the legality of these plea agreements.
