The Boston bomber’s fate? Sealed.

A handful of villains responsible for killing 3,000 people and bringing down the Twin Towers in New York City — who were captured way back in 2002? They’re still hanging out. Doing nothing. Alive and well and looking like bloated old porn stars.

Sadly, this is truth.

Because the five men being held at Guantanamo for their suspected role in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks will go yet another indefinite length of time before facing trial, because according to the United States military their pretrial hearing was canceled by a military judge.

It was originally scheduled to start August 24 and run up to September 4, according to a Defense Department spokesperson.

More from Reuters:

“The judge cited issues that remain unresolved with regard to a claimed defense counsel conflict of interest,” said Commander Gary Ross.

Defense attorneys for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators raised concerns in 2014 that they were being spied on by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They said that created a conflict of interest between them and their clients.

Judge James Pohl, an Army colonel, ruled in July that no conflict of interest arose for defense attorneys.

The allegations have further delayed a complex, slow-moving case, one of a number being held at the facility at the Guantanamo Naval base in Cuba, where suspects in the post-Sept. 11 “war against terrorism” are detained.
