US appeals court upholds Moussaoui conviction for 9/11
Source: bbc

A US appeals court has upheld the conviction and sentence of 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui.

The only person charged in the US over the attacks, Moussaoui had originally pleaded guilty to conspiracy.

In 2006 he was sentenced to life in prison for his role in planning the attacks that killed nearly 3,000.

The appeals court in Virginia rejected his claim his conviction was invalid as the government had failed to provide evidence he could have used in defence.

2. Everything seemed to work fine with this one.
Don't let the Neo-Nazi-Cons undo the rule of law.

4. Now I want the person who stonewalled the investigation allowing 9/11 to happen.
Someone in the FBI refused more than once to give a warrant for his computer before 911. That person should be tried as well but is probably heading a division in our "changed" government.
