Not only that, but during the trial, because it was a CRIMINAL CASE, the "defense" was entitled to ALL discovery about the case.

I'd bet my house that part of their request for "discovery" were the plans for the WTC.

And I bet I know where their copy went after the trial was over.

Excellent point, I'm sure the Islamo-fascists have gained all sorts of invaluable knowledge, about the WTC and lots of other things, via the 'discovery' process of such trials. I think that's one big reason the administration has insisted upon the "enemy combatant" status for many captured terrorists, rather than bring them into the civilian criminal justice system which affords them all sorts of rights and protections they don't deserve. I know there are a lot of ACLU-types for whom it's an article of faith that every last Al Qaeda scumbag must be afforded an OJ-type defense team, but I say it's a WAR, the 'rights' of terrorists are non-existent, and we will handle it in a way that protects OUR rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
