Judge Tosses Final Confession in Sept. 11 Guantánamo Case
Original: Judge Throws Out Last Defendant's Confession in Sept. 11 Case at Guantánamo https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/us/politi
A military judge has ruled that the last remaining defendant's confession in the September 11 case at Guantánamo Bay cannot be used, throwing out the confession entirely. The decision deals another setback to the long-stalled prosecution of the alleged plotters of the 2001 attacks, a case that has dragged through pretrial proceedings for more than a decade amid disputes over torture-derived evidence.
Why now: The ruling is a major new twist in the two-decade-long effort to prosecute the Sept. 11 attacks, renewing debate over Guantánamo and torture-tainted evidence.
