So, these guys supposedly planned the attacks on September 11, 2001. Right?

And the accused were picked up in Pakistan in 2002 and 2003, right?

And now it's coming up on September, 2019. Right?

They've been held in prison for ... how long? With no trial yet, or now even planned before 2021?

the constitution and all such amenities were rescinded by patriot act regarding these people. now that there is a different president with a different philosophy, it would not surprise me if they are headed for a living death. being captured and languishing in a cell is not martydom so would likely be a more undignified punishment than capitol punishment.
