"Torture-induced psychosis renders 9/11 defendant unfit for trial, medical panel concludes"

A military judge at Guantanamo Bay has ruled that one of the 9/11 defendants, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, is unfit for trial due to sustained abuse in CIA custody that has left him psychotic. The ruling means that the prosecution of his four co-defendants will continue without him. Al-Shibh, accused of organizing one cell of the 9/11 hijackers, remains in custody. The judge's ruling acknowledged the lasting psychological harm caused by the CIA's torture program. Defense attorneys argue that the defendants should receive physical and psychological care for the effects of the torture they endured. President Joe Biden declined to approve post-trauma care for the defendants.
