Scott Roehm and Ian Moss ask over at Just Security: How Much (or How Little) Does the Biden Administration Want Justice in the 9/11 Case? Excerpt:
In December last year, [Lloyd J.] Austin gave remarks at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California, titled “A Time for American Leadership.” He said:
As the old saying goes, if you think education is expensive, try ignorance. And if you think American leadership is expensive, consider the price of American retreat.
Over the long sweep of American history, the cost of courage has always been dwarfed by the cost of cowardice.
And the cost of abdication has always far outweighed the cost of leadership.
President [Joseph R.] Biden and Secretary Austin still have an opportunity to demonstrate such leadership in the 9/11 case by simply allowing the outcome that prosecutors, the CA, and the defendants all want. Should they fail to do so, many 9/11 victim family members will continue to pay what has been an increasingly devastating price.
