The Pentagon will begin distributing COVID-19 vaccines to Guantanamo Bay detainees, including Al Qaeda terrorists and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (lfar left inset) as early as next week. Clayton Trivett Jr, who is prosecuting the case against five terrorists behind the September 11 attacks, made the disclosure in a letter to defense lawyers Thursday. '[A]n official in the Pentagon has just signed a memo approving the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine to the detainee population Guantánamo,' he wrote, according to the New York Times. The shots will be administered on a 'voluntary basis' as per Pentagon policy, which requires the recipient's consent on treatment that has not been fully approved by the FDA. The US detention camp houses 40 detainees, all of whom could receive their first shot as early as Monday if they are willing, Trivett Jr said. The vaccine rollout comes amid a shortage of doses that have hampered inoculation efforts across the US, where only 26million Americans have been vaccinated. The vaccination effort is reportedly intended to help resume legal proceedings for prisoners such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (inset, right - bottom right) that have been delayed due to the pandemic. Another three detainees with links to Al Qaeda - Hambali (bottom second from right) Mohammed Nazir Bin Lep (far right) and Mohammed Farik Bin Amin (second from left) all members of Southeast Asia-based extremist group known as Jemaah Islamiyah, are also expected to be prioritized due to their upcoming arraignments.

WNU Editor: Unbelievable. 9/11 terrorists and other Al Qaeda leaders getting the Covid vaccine before most Americans. You just cannot make this stuff up.
On a side note.
Since President Biden's inauguration I have received a few emails complaining that my coverage of the Biden administration has been too critical. And I will admit that yes .... with the main stream media now asleep I want to provide some coverage that is being ignored.
And who can blame me.
The Biden administration is providing so much crazy content that my only regret is that I do not have enough hours in the day to cover everything. This prioritizing the 9/11 terrorists over ordinary Americans is just one example among many.
