Is Richard Reid corroborating Moussaoui's story?

[maveric]

Will he?
I'm wondering if they even knew each other.
This whole story smells of bullshit!

1. The shoe guy couldn't have hijacked a tricycle from a 5 year-old

2. I agree. Moussaoui is just making shit up now.

He must crack himself up.

3. In his mind he is either going to get a harem of virgins or 60 or

so years in a prison cell. He is going for the gusto.

4. Moussaoui is skrewed anyway...

My take, and I am probably wrong, but...

Bushco says they didn't know about the 9/11 plot... Forget the meetings and the messages for a minute...

They didn't know and Moussaoui did... If Moussaoui would have said something in the first place, they could have stopped it... or at least that seems to be the twisted logic...

So since Moussaoui didn't say anything, Bushco didn't know, so they can blame Moussaoui for not telling them, and he fries for for letting all those people die, while Bushco just shrugs and heads off to a two martini lunch...

Anyone think I'm too far off base with this one???

[maveric]

5. No. You are right on base.

Let Moussaoui take the blame and the heats off bu$hco.
Make him an offer he cant refuse.

6. there is something very strange here :

1) had Moussaoui access to information from the outside world after his arrest ? or at least after 9/11 ?
2) in that case why ?
3) if he didn't have access, how come he knows Reid ? normally a terrorist hardly knows his mates first name (which is a war name). Is Al Quaeda so amateurish ? An open confrontation could have solved that problem easily.

I wonder if he has been fed up "facts" that satisfy both : those who want to have him executed and himself, satisfying his suicidal behaviour.

I know one thing : if he is executed, Al Quaeda has won a new victory. They will boast him around as the martyr that was executed for something he didn't do.

7. Off topic but has anyone heard anything about

the al Q. guy that was captured in Pakistan? I cannot remember his name. They took a photo of him looking all disheveled, They claimed that he was high up in the al Q. ranks. I am wondering why he isn't in GITMO and hasn't come to a trial.
