In a major reversal, a former top Bush administration official who once supported prosecuting terrorism suspects at Guantánamo is now calling that effort 'doomed' and urging President Biden to settle the 9/11 case rather than pursue a death-penalty trial.
A law passed by Congress in 2015 prevents Guantánamo inmates from entering the U.S. for any reason, including imprisonment. But Olson told NPR that he would"support modifying the law to allow these individuals to be kept in maximum-security prisons in the territory of the United States."
He added:"Because I was someone whose wife was murdered on that day, and because I was a top-level official in the Justice Department in the Bush administration at that time ... [that] might give people a little bit more comfort in saying, 'Yes, we ought to resolve it in this way.'"
