Guilty pleas entered in Gitmo

In what was supposed to be another routine hearing at Guantanamo Bay, the five men charged with plotting the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks surprised the court by asking the judge if they could enter guilty pleas and make full confessions. Their requests were heard in front of an audience that, for the first time, included the families of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.

The five co-conspirators led by the supposed 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, were told that their confessions would have to wait until a thorough review process could be completed, which the judge did not foresee in the near future.

While some see this as a ploy to put the U.S. on trial for seeking the death penalty, the prisoners claim they simply ?don’t want this theater to continue.? Alan Gomez, a reporter at USA Today, joins The Takeaway from Guantanamo Bay to discuss this surprising turn of events.
