Rounding up a few major press pieces about revoked 9/11 plea deals

As noted in this prior post, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin late Friday revoked a plea agreement that took away the possibility of a death sentence for the accused mastermind of the 9/11 attacks and two accomplices.  I have seen a number of recent notable major press pieces about these developments, and here is a brief round up:

From the AP, “Sept. 11 families group leader cheers restoration of death penalty option in 9-11 prosecutions

From The Hill, “Austin was ‘surprised’ by 9/11 plea deals, Pentagon says

From the New York Times, “How the 9/11 Plea Deal Came Undone

From Politico, “Republicans praise Austin’s reversal of the 9/11 plea deal, but some victims’ families just want closure

From the Wall Street Journal, “Plea Deals for 9/11 Defendants Revoked, Leaving Cases in Limbo
