WASHINGTON — The first photographs of alleged Sept. 11 architect Ramzi Binalshibh in captivity showed up Monday on an al-Qaida website, showing the accused terrorist in his cell at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The high-quality color photographs were taken by delegates from the International Red Cross during a visit to Guantanamo last year for the purpose of sending them to the detainee's family, government officials and a spokesman for the ICRC told NBC News. In some, Binalshibh smiles broadly. In others, he holds what appears to be a Quran, or prays.

Two government officials confirmed to NBC that the photos did in fact appear to be Binalshibh, who as one of the prime plotters of the attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon remains among the most notorious of the detainees at Guantanamo.

3. So, if he's an alledged mastermind of 9/11....why not put him on trial?

I'd sure like to see a 'mastermind' of 9/11 prosecuted. This country's nosedive started with multiple bangs on 9/11/01 and we've yet to recover from it. Yet there's been a curious lack of holding any public trials relating to the people who, we're told, are responsible for this disaster.
