  • In Richmond court, Moussaoui lawyers argue for new trial

    09/26/2009 2:34:17 PM PDT · by HokieMom · 145+ views
    Richmond Times Dispatch ^ | 9/26/09 | Frank Green
    Lawyers for convicted Sept. 11 plotter Zacarias Moussaoui were back in a federal appeals court yesterday trying to win a new trial. They argued that Moussaoui's 2005 guilty plea to six terrorism-conspiracy counts was invalid because his trial lawyers could not yet tell him about classified evidence in possession of the government that supported a claim of innocence. The case, argued before the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Court of Appeals this year, was re-argued yesterday because of the retirement of Judge Karen Williams, one of three judges who first heard the case and who left before it could be decided. "This...

    Get out your box of aloe vera-enriched, three-ply Kleenex tissues. The bleeding-heart defense team for convicted al-Qaida terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui wants to tell you a sob story. Like so many apologists for jihad, Moussaoui's lawyers are playing the victim card on behalf of a murder-minded thug who just can't wait to die for Allah. Last April, Moussaoui pleaded guilty to six charges of conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism, conspiracy to commit aircraft piracy, conspiracy to destroy aircraft, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiracy to murder government employees and conspiracy to destroy property. Throughout the sentencing phase of...

    The news last month that police had arrested Sajid Badat at his home in Gloucester, England, shook many Britons. The charges against him concerned his training with al-Qaida in Afghanistan and his possessing PETN explosives, the same substance would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid had tried to set off. Police believe Badat intended to carry off the very first suicide bombing in the United Kingdom. But not everyone was shaken by this news. Gloucester's Muslim community esteemed Badat too much to credit the charges. One admirer called him "a walking angel" and "the bright star of our mosque." Another described him...

    We have plenty of basis and evidence that [Binyam] Mohammed is dangerous. But Holder’s sense of “responsibility ... as attorney general ... for the safety of this nation” did not stop him from agreeing to Mohammed’s release and transfer to England — where he now plots freely while on the British dole. Naturally, having discerned that all the tough talk was just that, talk, British authorities are back on the administration’s doorstep, demanding the release of Shaker Aamer. He’s a bin Laden confidant who trained aspiring terrorists at al-Qaeda camps, met with shoe-bomber Richard Reid, and traveled widely in the...

    RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A federal appeals court in Virginia is set to hear arguments for a new trial by Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. Moussaoui was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to helping plan the 2001 terrorist attacks. His lawyers now claim court-imposed secrecy undermined Moussaoui's ability to present an adequate defense, so the plea should be thrown out and a new trial granted.

    A federal judge in New York has ordered a Lebanese national transferred to Minneapolis to face two counts of making false statements to federal investigators. The U.S. attorney's office in Minneapolis says Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi is charged with lying about his role in sending radio and communications equipment to Pakistan and elsewhere. He's also accused of lying about his role in helping another person illegally obtain a Massachusetts driver's license. That person was later convicted in Jordan in a bombing plot. The charges revealed Friday deal only with accusations of lying — not with the underlying crimes Elzahabi allegedly lied...

    Admitted al-Qaida member Zacarias Moussaoui is asking a federal appeals court to undo his guilty plea. He says his lawyers were prohibited from discussing with him crucial evidence in his case. Moussaoui is serving a life sentence. He described himself as the so-called "20th hijacker" and says he was supposed to have flown a fifth airplane into the White House during the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Lawyers are asking an appeals court in Virginia to toss out Moussaoui's guilty plea. They say the strict rules about what classified information could be discussed made it impossible for attorneys to properly advise...

    Zacarias Moussaoui's guilty plea and life prison term for conspiring in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks should be overturned because his case was riddled with errors that deprived him of his constitutional rights, his attorneys said in court papers unsealed yesterday. In their opening brief before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, the attorneys said Moussaoui could not choose his own counsel at trial or learn much of the evidence against him because it was secret. "Moussaoui faced the choice between pleading guilty and facing a fundamentally unfair trial in a death-penalty case. This was an...

    The judge who presided over Zacarias Moussaoui's trial questioned the government's decision to seek a death sentence against the Sept. 11 conspirator, and offered a strong defense of federal courts' ability to handle terror trials. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said in a speech Friday at the American University law school that the government's decision to seek a death sentence against Moussaoui appeared to be politically motivated, and that the zealous pursuit of a death sentence opened up numerous issues of exposing classified information that otherwise could have been avoided.

    flight instructor who raised the alarm about the so-called “20th hijacker” has been given a $5 million (£2.5 million) reward by the US government even though his tip failed to prevent the September 11 terror attacks.

    The focus of the Congressional investigation into the destruction of videotapes at the CIA has tightened on Jose Rodriguez. Rep.

The House Intelligence Committee had just heard from John Rizzo, the highest-ranking lawyer at the CIA during that period: A senior House Republican said information gathered by the House Intelligence Committee indicated that a high-ranking CIA official ordered the destruction of videotapes depicting agency interrogation sessions even though he was directed not to do so.

    The videotapes containing interrogations of al-Qaeda terrorists, including depictions of waterboarding, got destroyed because the man who ordered the action believed he had "implicit support" to do so from the CIA, according to his lawyer. Jose Rodriguez acted on requests from the CIA station chief in Bangkok to resolve the status of the tapes before the chief's retirement. After consultations with CIA lawyers and other officials in the agency, Rodriguez believed he could act to destroy the tapes and all of the evidence they contained: In late 2005, the retiring CIA station chief in Bangkok sent a classified cable to...

"Turki bin Fheid al-Muteiri -- Fawaz al-Nashmi -- may God accept him as a martyr (was) the one chosen by Sheikh Osama bin Laden to be the martyrdom-seeker number 20 in the raid on September 11, 2001," said the statement. In May, bin Laden said Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in a U.S. court for the September 11 attacks, had...

    WEST CHESTER, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- When Nicholas Berg took an Oklahoma bus to a remote college campus a few years ago, the American recently beheaded by terrorists allowed a man with terrorist connections to use his laptop computer, according to his father. Michael Berg said the FBI investigated the matter more than a year ago. He stressed that his son was in no way connected to the terrorists who captured and killed him. Government sources told CNN that the encounter involved an acquaintance of Zacarias Moussaoui -- the only person publicly charged in the United States in connection with the...

    CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - 0523dv-bin-laden-tape Osama bin Laden purportedly said in an audio tape Tuesday that neither Zacarias Moussaoui - the only person convicted in the U.S. for the Sept. 11 attacks - nor anyone held at Guantanamo had anything to do with the al-Qaida operation. "He had no connection at all with Sept. 11," the speaker claiming to be bin Laden said in the tape posted on the Internet. "I am the one in charge of the 19 brothers and I never assigned brother Zacarias to be with them in that mission," he said, referring to the 19 hijackers....

    DUBAI (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden said Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in a U.S. court for the September 11 attacks, had nothing to do with the operations, according to a Web site audiotape released on Tuesday. Bin Laden said he had personally assigned tasks to the 19 hijackers who staged the attacks on U.S. cities which killed about 3,000 people. "The truth is that he has no connection whatsoever with the events of September 11. I am certain of what I say because I was responsible for entrusting the 19 brothers ... with the raids," said the speaker...

    DENVER - Convicted Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui on Saturday began serving his life sentence at the nation's most secure prison after U.S. marshals flew him overnight from Virginia to Colorado. Marshals brought Moussaoui, prisoner 51427-054, before dawn Saturday to the Supermax federal prison in southern Colorado, where he will spend 23 hours a day in his cell and have little to no contact with other notorious criminals. "He has now begun serving his sentence of life without the possibility of release," the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. A special team of deputy marshals took Moussaoui from a...

    Only one juror stood between the death penalty and Zacarias Moussaoui and that juror frustrated his colleagues because he never explained his vote, according to the foreman of the jury that sentenced the Al-Qaida operative to life in prison last week. The foreman, a Virginia math teacher, said in an interview that the panel voted 11-1, 10-2 and 10-2 in favor of the death penalty on three terrorism charges. A unanimous vote on any one of them would have resulted in a death sentence.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Zacarias Moussaoui was saved from a death sentence by a single juror who never explained his vote to other members of the jury that sent the September 11 conspirator to prison for life, The Washington Post reported on Friday. The foreman of the 12-person federal jury told the newspaper that the panel voted 11-1, 10-2 and 10-2 in favor of the death penalty on the three charges for which Moussaoui was eligible for execution. A unanimous vote on any one of the three terrorism charges was required to return a death sentence. Moussaoui, 37, a French citizen...

    Almost everyone thinks Zacarias Moussaoui is mad except Zacarias Moussaoui, and now he will have a lifetime to ponder that fact. Those who believe he is insane got more evidence Wednesday, when he was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 9/11 attacks, and reacted as if he had been acquitted. He clapped his hands and shouted, “America, you lost. I won.” What sane person would react in such a way to being sentenced to life behind bars? As if to explain his bizarre behavior, CNN placed a video link immediately following its account of Moussaoui’s exclamation:...

    Sorry to make you choke on your Cheerios this morning. But when an alert reader, Bob "Formerly of Savannah" Mason, passed this item along this week, I couldn't believe it:Ricky Jivens apparently is looking for a few good women. Female pen pals, that is. The most ruthless gang leader in modern Savannah history - a high-rolling drug dealer who had cops on his payroll and was said to be responsible for 15 to 20 deaths - wants to get up close and personal with members of the opposite sex in Europe and elsewhere, via the U.S. Postal Service, from his...

    A recent cover of Newsweek magazine jarred me. In bold type across the face of the magazine cover were these words: “Freud Is Not Dead.” Just being reminded of Sigmund Freud, the Viennese psychiatrist who redefined modern psychiatry and dismissed God as the figment of our imaginations, gave me cold chills. Here was the man whose influence has ushered in the age of therapy—excusing anyone’s behavior because they sucked their thumb too long as a baby. He’s also one of the great intellectual influences that led to the sexual revolution of the 1960s, for which we pay dearly to this...

    Zacarias Moussaoui is not crazy. His seeming self-contradictions during his trial all flow from a clearly discernable strategy based on al-Qaeda’s stated belief that Islamism can rule the world because Americans and Europeans are “weak and decadent infidels.” To understand the strategy behind Moussaoui’s courtroom conduct we need only look at the words of Osama-bin Laden in his last (1998) interview with an American journalist. Beirut “We have seen in the last decade the decline of the American government and the weakness of the American soldier who is ready to wage Cold Wars and unprepared to fight long wars. This...

    On the May 5th edition of HBO’s Real Time, host Bill Maher suggested that we listen to what convicted terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui says about America. Giving his last words while being sentenced, Moussaoui said this about Americans: “you wasted an opportunity to learn why people like me have so much hatred of you. If you don’t want to hear, you will feel pain”. Maher says that Moussaoui’s remark is “absolutely, one-hundred percent true”.  BILL MAHER, HOST: They [Americans] think they’re safer now because we [Americans] put this guy Moussaoui in jail.  BRADLEY WHITFORD, THE WEST WING: Too crazy for...
