ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The details of what happened to the four hijacked jetliners on Sept. 11, 2001, have been known for years, but when a prosecutor read a simple minute-by-minute account of the attacks, the jury deciding the fate of confessed al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui hung on every word.

i suppose they're gonna let moussy sentence himself, too. if he convicts himself, that is.

Defense attorneys argue that the FBI's incompetence and bureaucratic gridlock kept them from stopping the attacks, and a confession from Moussaoui would have changed nothing.

I hope to see moussaoui hang by the neck very soon, BUT the defense argument is probably true. Federal law enforcement (upper management) was and may still be nothing but a bunch of keystone kops. If moussaoui had handed them the 19 intended hijackers, they would probably have been released on their own recognizance and gone on to level the WTC.

They hung on every word because the media has done its best to ignore it, unless it is bad for Bush, so it almost seems like a story from long, long ago.

Now Abu Ghraib, that's a story with legs!

"Moussaoui pumped his fist after hearing Raskin's (prosecutor's) account."

And we pay for this POS's trial.

There is the old adage in criminal trials that describes a person who represents himself at trial: "He has a fool for a client."

Priceless.
