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 today, 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."

I wonder if they make him listen to John Denver too.
"His amnesty program is making Bush look like a fool, he doesn't need the mullahs help"
Another case of IYHO.
Bush has had the same position on immigration since the 2000 election. I hardly think that makes him look like a fool. Quite the contrary, I think dolts like you who think there is only one "right" view of the immigration issue look foolish.
He must be taking an English language class.
Q: What comes after a sentence?
A: The appeal.
actually I meant scan the mountains of Pakistan with an armed satillite webcam and you pay the US government $1 for 5 shots with real bullets. If you get him, you get $25 million, if you get the wrong man you have to become a muslim and live in Pakistan the rest of your life
Maybe bubba will behead him with a pocket knife before his request has been processed.
If he's released on parole, he wouldn't make it to the parking lot...
A: The appeal.
LOL! Good one!
From the article..
Moussaoui's court-appointed lawyers told the court they filed the motion even though a federal rule "prohibits a defendant from withdrawing a guilty plea after imposition of sentence." They did so anyway because of their "problematic relationship with Moussaoui" and the fact that new lawyers have yet to be appointed to replace them.
Looks like he's scr@wed the pooch as long as all the libs don't rally for his cause.
According to the WP, the hour a day is just for the first year. If he behaves properly, he gets more time outside and a chance to interact with other prisioners.
Oh please, the American people have demonstrated they don't have the cajones or raw emotion to do anything to this guy. He killed thousands of us and I bet he could go around as free as OJ and never get so much as beat up.
And not only that, he's going to be an EU Stop Cowboy Bush superstar, whose fate will complicate every single bilateral Euro-American interaction, and a UN General Assembly poster boy, as well.
How criminally stupid that he was ever turned over to the civil courts.
Zacharias Moussaoui, the hate America gift that keeps on giving.
No problem, this is his last fizzle before he goes dark forever in ADX Florence.

AND, as they say in the Russian Navy, Tuff Shi*sky Homes..!especially when the tough cuts of borscht are served..
Please elaborate
That's called:
The lawyer has to do pretty much what the client says, but doesn't have to be a fool about it.
The JURY even said he was a minor player, insignificant.
He is playing with us and our upside down justice system that makes victims out of perps.
Sickening!!!
I believe that the judge told Zak that he couln't appeal his guilty plea.
Maybe he can appeal the sentence and end up with death next time.
IDIOTIC JURY!!! BROKEN judicial system!! 4 YEARS of EXPENSE for this idiocy!!!
Five seconds, and unlike Che, Mao, and Mumia, this guy is going to be alive for the next fifty years (on your dime).
