Oh well if they promised then I'm sure there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

  The crimes he's charged with are actually not eligible for the death sentence and the Attorney General promised not to seek the death penalty even if future additional charges do make that possible. Not really sure what else you want.

    US government officials have been caught lying countless times when it comes to "national security" issues. What gives this particular promise any credibility? Is this "promise" legally binding? What about the next Attorney General? Or the next one? Even if he isn't executed, he could be physically and psychologically tortured. I'm not sure if you know much about the US prison system, but this is a common and officially sanctioned practice. Many people would consider a lifetime of torture to be a worse punishment than execution.

Not really sure what else you want. I don't think there's any assurance or promise the US government could offer short of a full pardon that would be sufficient. The US, especially in areas of human rights and national security, is not a trustworthy entity.
