What Gloria Steinem Can Teach Us
United States military branch flags outside the Camp Justice complex at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, on Nov. 5, 2023. Military prosecutors have decided not to appeal to try to reinstate a key confession by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. It was an apparent end to a yearslong effort by the government to defend statements obtained from him under brutal conditions in overseas CIA prisons, and a bid to keep the trial for him and three others on track for the summer of 2028 at Guantánamo Bay.
