Meanwhile, the Washington Post is reporting prosecutors and defense attorneys are negotiating a guilty plea for Ali al-Marri, who has been the only so-called “enemy combatant” jailed in the United States. Marri has been held in isolation without trial at a naval brig in South Carolina for more than five years. The Obama administration charged him earlier this year to avoid a Supreme Court hearing challenging his indefinite jailing. Under the proposed deal, Marri would plead guilty to a single conspiracy charge carrying a fifteen-year sentence.
