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.
