    So Good At Representing Himself, He's Now Making The Government's Case Too

    By MATTHEW BARAKAT, Associated Press Writer

    ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui testified Monday that he and would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid were supposed to hijack a fifth airplane on Sept. 11, 2001, and fly it into the White House.

    Moussaoui's testimony on his own behalf stunned the courtroom. His account was in stark contrast to his previous statements in which he said the White House attack was to come later if the United States refused to release a radical Egyptian sheik imprisoned on earlier terrorist convictions.

    On Dec. 22, 2001, Reid was subdued by passengers when he attempted to detonate a bomb in his shoe aboard American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami. There were 197 people on board. The plane was diverted to Boston, where it landed safely.

    Moussaoui told the court he knew the World Trade Center attack was coming and that he lied to investigators when arrested in August 2001 because he wanted it to happen.

    Very, very odd.

    What's so odd about it, the fact that it doesn't support your crack pipe induced ideas that the government knew 9/11 was coming?

    No, the fact that the government was having so much trouble proving it's case, so now Moussaoui appears to be doing it for them.

    whats so funny, is that in the end, this story will eventually recieve less press coverage than the Cheney hunting incident.
