Moussaoui says he lied, wants to retract guilty plea – Associated Press, by Michael J. Sniffen
Convicted Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui says he lied on the witness stand about being involved in the plot and wants to withdraw his guilty plea because he now believes he can get a fair trial.
In a motion filed Friday but released Monday, Moussaoui said he testified March 27 he was supposed to hijack a fifth plane on Sept. 11, 2001, and fly it into the White House “even though I knew that was a complete fabrication.”
Sorry, Moussaoui – You Lose. No take backs. No Do-overs.
Take back 9-11. We’ll talk.
We probably spent a million bucks or more investigating and trying this pos. He’s had more justice than he deserves, and frankly should be grateful he didn’t get sentenced to die (I sure would have done so had it ben up to me).
I think this guy has some mental issues.
He’s not even a real terrorist, he’s a wanna-be.
Not a real terrorist? Are you kidding? He is a turd, but he wants to KILL us.
I spoke to an attorney that told me that the chances of him getting a new trial are ZERO. You can’t blame the lawyers. And his lying is not grounds for a new trial, but actually more charges.
Yes, not a real terrorist.
Did he ever get to do any actual terrorizing?
Nope.
I think he’s a mental case, and a wanna-be. It’s almost like he’s a little slow or something up there, you know?
I don’t think he is a wanna be. I think he is a terrorist, just not on the level of Atta.
Peejz, I can only hope Bin Laden will be someday in the same prison, but also, he may someday be free if this nation keeps going where its going. watch the next generation that may look at this evil rat as a hero, just look at what just happened inside the USA:sad:
A terrorist who aids in the planning of an attack, and conceals its existence, is still a terrorist whether he actually participated in the attack or not.
I’m going to go over this one more time. Terrorists are nonuniformed combatants who have declared war on the US. Whether our Congress may lack the intestinal fortitude to declare war against Al Quaeda, Al Quaeda has declared war on US. With that fact, Terrorists are to be treated in accordance with the Geneva Conventions. The Geneva Conventions are international law and call for all combatants to receive humane treatment. HOWEVER those combatants MUST OBSERVE CERTAIN RULES. To be protected by the Geneva Conventions, the combatants must wear recognizable uniforms, they must carry ID that indicates that they are members of a military unit, they must belong to a unit with a recognized chain of command. These are NOT suggestions, they are REQUIREMENTS. Now where does that leave the Terrorists as they do not obey ANY of these requirements? There is a section of the Geneva conventions that specifically covers any combatant who refuses to abide by those requirements. That section provides for a military tribunal to determine if the individual is in fact a nonuniformed combatant. If they are determined to in fact be a nonuniformed combatant, the convening authority has the responsibility to determine the appropriate punishment with execution being the prescribed penalty. We have used this before and would save a fortune on Gitmo if we simply started executing any terrorist not willing to cooperate. for an example of us executing nonuniformed combatants research the “Chicago 7″.
I equate Moussaoui to Sirhan Sirhan. He may be a nut, but he was intent on carrying out a terrorist attack just as Sirhan Sirhan was intent on obtaining revenge for the Palestinians on RFK for supporting Israel.
