The Beltway Beat has confirmed that an "incident" is under investigation at the Alexandria Detention Center involving accused terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui and his reported use of a personal cell phone belonging to a jail employee.
A source close to the Alexandria Sheriff's Department tells this column that he was told yesterday that the phone belongs to a sheriff's deputy who has guarded Moussaoui, the so-called "20th hijacker" being held under otherwise-tight security.
"He (the deputy) is accused of allowing Moussaoui to use his cell phone to make personal calls," says our source, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "The guard is being questioned as we speak."
Alexandria Sheriff's Capt. David Rocco confirmed late yesterday that "the incident is under review," but he wouldn't say what the incident was.
Ironically, attorneys for Moussaoui filed a court motion in 2002 objecting to the "overly restrictive" conditions at the Alexandria jail. Among other demands, they asked he be allowed greater telephone access to his attorneys.

And i sincerely hope there was an agent in the room next door tracking the calls and everything he said and who he said it to!
In a lighter note, the 4 Enemy Combatants who had French citizenship and were released to French authorities have been put in prison within minutes of their coming to France. Too bad Grat Britain (or is it Spain ? Damn !)couldn't do the same with their own.
This Moussaoui story is old news. There was a thread a few days ago.
That's what I thought, this morning I read something here about a AQ-affiliate that was "turned" by the CIA opr the FBI, and some people wondered if Moussaoui's phone call really was mistake, or had been planned to trap some other bad guys.
Hmmm, who did he call? I would guess that if you were a sleeper terrorist, the very last person you would want a call from would be him.
