Moussaoui was not part of any 9/11 cell.

[G2099]

"The CIA has in custody the man who orchestrated the attacks on the World Trade Center, and he has told his interrogators that Moussaoui was not part of any 9/11 cell. That handpicked team came from similar backgrounds and bore little resemblance to the Frenchman of Morrocan descent who was too indisciplined to be trusted on such a crucial mission.

"Al-Qaeda did pay for him to take flying lessons in America, as they did for dozens of others, but, unlike the pilots recruited for 9/11, Moussaoui proved incompetent. He not only raised suspicions by refusing to be taught the basics of how to take off or land a Boeing 747, but in the flight simulator he couldn’t even steer straight and instructors told the truculent Moussaoui that he was wasting his money.

1. Even Al Qaeda figured out he was insane

But the American people want a warm body to execute for 9-11 and to them Moussaoui will do.

5. 100% correct n/t

2. He's definitely bonkers.

I can't see how anyone on that jury could think that he's in his right mind and telling the truth at all.

3. He's told so many stories

But what is clear, is he intended to be part of the plot, he knew about the plot, he could have stopped the plot. Those were the charges. Period. This isn't mistaken identity or manufactured evidence. He's guilty. We really do not have to take up the cause of every single person in prison to prove we're liberal.

6. if anyone's to hang, let's hang robert novak, ar brite hum, or woof

blitzer, or tom delay, or cheney/rumsmell/rice/asscrack/norquist/perle/wolfwits/fliesher be it! moussoui's is insane, always has been, and regardless of what visions that were dancing in his head, they were insane visions: the rest of these psycho killers are not insane, they are cold blooded traitors and seditionists -they need trial/execution, unlike le grande banana

4. After all of their shredding of the constitution

And their abuse of power in the pursuit of 'terrists' all they can come up with for their big show trial is a pathetic wannabe?
