I'm suspicious of the timing.

A US military judge has ordered Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks, and three co-defendants to stand trial, more than two decades after their arrest.

Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Schrama issued the scheduling order on Wednesday, setting opening proceedings for June 5, 2028.

2028 is the next presidential election year and I'm sure Trump would love to say it's happening under his rule because it's his rule and that he's fighting terrorism.

And it has apparently been stalled for a while:

The ruling comes after a US appeals court blocked plea deals that would have let Mohammed and two co-defendants avoid the death penalty.

The case has been stalled for years by disputes over evidence obtained while the men were held in CIA prisons and subjected to torture.

Schrama turned down a prosecution bid to open the trial in early 2027, arguing that timeline wouldn’t leave enough room to work through the disputes.

“A realistic trial date must account for the hearing and resolution of pretrial evidentiary and compliance motions,” he wrote.

Could be coincidence, but I feel there's ample reason to be suspicious here.

You make a lot of sense.
