Bin Laden Cook Accepts Plea Deal at Guantanamo Trial

In an alleged victory for the Military Commission trial system for terror suspects at Guantánamo, revived by President Obama last year despite the fact that he suspended the Commissions on his first day in office, a Sudanese prisoner, Ibrahim al-Qosi, accepted a plea bargain yesterday, and made a guilty plea on one count of conspiracy and one count of providing material support to terrorism.

I don't know why others find it funny, but if he was, "just a cook," then why was there even a plea? Why didn't this administration just let him go?

"providing material support to terrorism"

Bin Laden's illiterate driver was basically sentenced to time served, plus a few months as I recall.
