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."

For the first time in my life I actually see a defense attorney earning every penny of his/her wages......
That's a good reason (and they're a bit particular there about calling it the FDNY).
fine, so its not the Ritz Carlton. He lives an austere existence. But he still gets his meals, some programs on his cell TV, religious services there too, an hour a day of exercise, showers, medical care when he needs it, meetings with his lawyers and human rights visitors, etc.
he gets to live, to live some kind of life - which is more that can be said for the 3000 people who died on 9-11. Many of them roasted alive in the WTC, Manhattan smelled like a crematoria for weeks afterwards.
and they'll continue to do so until...when? The abu gharaib (or however you spell it) apologists will be all over this when the motion is denied and he's sent to that little cell in the desert.
Then watch his bretheren try to break him out or bomb the prison or some such treat.
Oh for crying out loud, Moussaoui isn't actively pursuing the title of UN Secretary is he? ; )
he gets the small TV, the anger mgmt shows, religious shows. he gets food and medical care.
the cell is 7x12 people are saying here - that's 84 square feet. a bare bones inside stateroom on many cruise ships is 117 square feet - and a part of that is taken up by the closet, which obviously Moussaoui does not need. So the idea that an 84 sq ft room in a "coffin" as these others are saying, is a stretch.
In a year he'll be beggin for a shot.
And even that's about 7 times too large.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. If he IS a warrior (there is some doubt), then going out in a blaze of glory in a few minutes would certainly be preferred to decaying away in prison over 50 years. Think about it.
Sharia law says to cut out his tongue and hang him with it, if he lies. So... who are we to quibble?
This character should have undoubtably been hung, or impaled, for his crimes.
But now that this is done, so be it, he asked for it.
Lock him in this cell, and 30 or 40 years from now when he croaks run a 3 line obit on page 36 of the New York Times.
All this court cases and appeals and publicity just feeds this vermin.
So he wants to appeal the "Life" sentence to receive "Death"? We should be able to accomodate that request. We are, after all, not communists.
I say when he dies we take his body, drench it in pig's blood, burn it, and flush his ashes down the toilet.
Really, David Lane is still alive and living in The Tomb?
Cool.
islamic law is an oxymoron. Which part of the oxymoron is just plain moronic?
You know, I'm looking at that list and I'm sad to report that there are more terrorists convicted under Clinton than under Bush.
But then again... Bush doesn't prosecute terrorists, he just kills them or sends them to GTMO.
Great idea! I'd get him an alarm clock that sounds like a grenade going off (full volume).
I don't think anyone really believes that mumbojumbo about pigs being "unclean", I know I don't.
Al Quaida knows how to work our judicial system better than ANY low-life defense lawyer.
