一名军事法官驳回了被控9·11事件主谋哈立德·谢赫·穆罕默德的供词，裁定其供述是在中央情报局羁押期间通过酷刑获取的。福克斯新闻记者马克·梅雷迪思就该裁决及其对这起旷日持久案件的潜在影响进行了报道。

近日驳回9·11恐怖袭击疑似主谋哈立德·谢赫·穆罕默德供词的这名法官，此前曾辩称，美国军方国内极端主义问题日益严重，部分原因是“极端右翼团体”强化了“保守倾向”。
负责9·11案件军事审判程序的空军中校迈克尔·施拉马是一名专攻军事和环境法的法官。上周，他以穆罕默德2007年的供词并非自愿为由，将其排除在证据之外。这一裁决可能会让这名疑似策划者等待受审的数十年时长变得更加复杂。在造成近3000人死亡的袭击25周年纪念日前夕，施拉马驳回了检察官于2027年1月启动审判的请求，转而将审判日期定在2028年6月。
这一最初并未公开的裁决引发了批评，其中包括记者兼作家杰拉尔德·波塞纳的指责，他称该裁决是“9·11周年纪念前夕的可耻前奏”。对施拉马过往记录的审查也让他2023年发表在国家安全与外交政策刊物《战争之岩》上的题为《针对军中国内极端主义制定标准化法律应对措施》的文章重新进入公众视野。

在负责监督9·11案件的军事审判程序之前，施拉马曾在弗吉尼亚州兰利-尤斯蒂斯联合基地担任空军庭审法官。他还曾担任军法处处长和辩护律师，并于2019年被部署到科威特的阿里阿尔塞勒姆空军基地担任军法处处长。2017年6月至2019年1月期间，他专注于环境法领域。
他在文章中写道：“作为一名现役空军法官，我亲眼目睹越来越多的美军官兵参与极端主义活动。”
他表示，“有充分证据表明，美军官兵是极端主义招募的成熟目标群体”，而“军中国内极端主义抬头对国家安全构成威胁”。
为佐证自己的观点，他援引了战略与国际研究中心2021年的一项研究，该研究称军事人员参与了17.6%的国内恐怖主义阴谋和袭击事件。

他还写道，在2021年1月6日国会山骚乱事件中被指控参与的人员中，有12%拥有某种形式的军事经历，包括现役军人。
关于极端主义抬头的原因，他辩称“军事机构往往会变得更加保守，与平民社会日益隔绝”，且“这些保守倾向不断得到强化，年轻的美军官兵很容易成为那些持有类似保守意识形态的极端右翼团体的目标”。
“不幸的是，《美国刑法典》和《统一军事司法法典》目前没有应对这场危机的相关工具，因为它们并未将国内极端主义列为具体的刑事犯罪，”他写道，并补充道，“将国内极端主义定为军事法典下的惩罚性条款，将为指挥官提供充分应对国内极端主义抬头浪潮的手段。”
他还提到了2019年的一起案件，一名海岸警卫队军官对枪支和毒品指控认罪，检察官称该军官藏匿武器，并计划谋杀民主党政客、最高法院大法官和电视记者。
他写道，“尽管将哈森定性为国内恐怖分子，但联邦检察官选择了这些较轻的指控，原因是目前不存在国内恐怖主义相关法规。”

军事委员会召集机构发言人罗纳德·弗莱斯维格拒绝就施拉马的裁决置评，称对军事法官的裁决发表评论是不合适的。他同样拒绝就施拉马的文章置评，表示该文章的发表“并非以他作为军事委员会法官的身份”。
穆罕默德及其同案被告瓦利德·穆罕默德·萨利赫·穆巴拉克·本·阿塔什、穆斯塔法·艾哈迈德·亚当·哈萨维和阿里·阿卜杜勒·阿齐兹·阿里的案件多年来一直停留在预审程序中。施拉马于2025年成为第五名负责审理该案件的法官。
针对施拉马上周的裁决，白宫高级顾问斯蒂芬·穆勒告诉福克斯新闻：“我们的司法系统已经严重崩坏，它在每一个环节都偏袒掠夺者、怪物，在这起案件中则偏袒一名9·11主谋。”
穆勒还抨击该系统“纵容对无辜美国人的迫害，这些人从未做错任何事，同时保护贩毒集团杀手和外国恐怖分子”。
“这是一种耻辱，是一场闹剧，是一种愤慨，”他说。

Judge who axed 9/11 mastermind’s confession blamed military’s ‘conservative tendencies’ for rising ‘extremism’
2026-09-01 06:00 EDT / Fox News
Lt Col Michael Schrama wrote in a 2023 essay that conservative tendencies made troops ‘easy prey’ for right-wing groups
By Peter Pinedo, Fox News
A military judge excluded the confession of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, ruling his statements were obtained through torture while in CIA custody. Fox News correspondent Mark Meredith reports on the ruling and its potential impact on the long-running case.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
The judge who recently threw out a confession by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, previously argued that the U.S. military had a growing domestic extremism problem fueled in part by “conservative tendencies” reinforced by “extreme right-wing groups.”
Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, an Air Force judge who specializes in military and environmental law, is presiding over the military commission in the 9/11 case. Last week, he tossed Mohammed’s 2007 confession on the grounds that it was not given voluntarily. The ruling could complicate what has already been a decades-long wait for the suspected plotter to stand trial. Just days before the 25th anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, Schrama rejected prosecutors’ request to begin the trial in January 2027 and instead set it for June 2028.
The decision, which was not initially made public, has drawn criticism, including from journalist and author Gerald Posner, who called it a “shameful prelude to the 9/11 anniversary.” Scrutiny of Schrama’s record has also resurfaced a 2023 essay he wrote titled “Creating a Codified Legal Response to Domestic Extremism in the Ranks” for the national security and foreign policy publication “War on the Rocks.”

Before his role on the military commission overseeing the 9/11 case, Schrama served as an Air Force trial judge at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. He has also served as a staff judge advocate and defense counsel and was deployed in 2019 as a staff judge advocate to Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. Between June 2017 and January 2019, he specialized in environmental law.
He wrote in his essay that “as an active-duty Air Force military judge, I have seen firsthand a rising population of military members engaging in extremist activities.”
He said that “there is more than ample evidence that military members are a ripe population for extremist recruitment” and that the “rise of domestic extremism in the military ranks is a threat to national security.”
To illustrate his argument, he pointed to a 2021 study by the Center for Strategic & International Studies that said military personnel were responsible for 17.6% of domestic terrorism plots and attacks.

He also wrote that 12% of those charged with participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot had some form of military experience, including service members on active duty.
As to the reasons for this rising extremism, he argued that “military institutions tend to become more conservative and isolated from civilian society” and that “these conservative tendencies are constantly reinforced, and young military members can be easy prey for the extreme right-wing groups that relate through similar conservative ideology.”
“Unfortunately, the United States Criminal Code and the Uniform Code of Military Justice do not currently provide the tools to deal with this crisis, as they do not treat domestic extremism as a specific criminal offense,” he wrote, adding, “Codifying domestic extremism as a punitive article under the military code would provide a means for commanders to adequately address the rising tide of domestic extremism.”
He also noted a 2019 case in which a Coast Guard officer pleaded guilty to gun and drug charges after prosecutors said he stashed weapons and planned to murder Democratic politicians, Supreme Court justices and TV journalists.
He wrote that “despite describing Hasson as a domestic terrorist, federal prosecutors chose these more minor charges due to the fact that no domestic terrorism statute currently exists.”

Ronald Flesvig, a spokesperson for the Military Commissions Convening Authority, declined to comment on Schrama’s ruling, saying it would be inappropriate to comment on the military judge’s decision. He also declined to comment on Schrama’s essay, saying it was published “not in his capacity as a judge for the military commissions.”
Mohammed’s case, along with those of three co-defendants — Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak bin ‘Atash, Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi and Ali Abdul Aziz Ali — has been stuck in pretrial proceedings for years. Schrama became the fifth judge assigned to preside over the case in 2025.
In response to Schrama’s decision last week, White House senior advisor Stephen Mueller told Fox News, “Our judicial system is so badly broken it sides at every turn with predators, monsters and, in this case, a 9/11 mastermind.”
Mueller also railed that the system “enables the persecution of innocent Americans who did nothing wrong, while protecting cartel killers and foreign terrorists.”
“It’s a disgrace, it’s a travesty, it’s an outrage,” he said.
