WASHINGTON (AP) — Admitted al-Qaeda 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 him. They say that violated Moussaoui's constitutional rights.

Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why he has, or thinks he has, constitutional rights! It boggles my mind that a self confirmed terrorist, the 20th highjacker, uses our laws, the system he wanted to destroy against us. Why do we entertain such bullshit appeals from these “enemy combatants?”

Short answer - Libs. This is what we have to look forward to if Gitmo is closed and they are all placed in the US system. Might as well just turn them out on the street and give them a SJS belt.

Tell me this coming election will not impact the war on terror - one way or the other.

Now some seem to think if we can just find a field big enough, everybody get together and have a group hug, everybody will love us and the world will be at peace.

Because everyone is special, including inept mass murdering terrorists.

Well I think this is a partial solution.

We just need to find a field big enough, get all of the bad guys together there, and then...
