You know it's a big case when the accused hasn't even been on trial, and already his lawyers have been kicked in the SCOTUS:
The Supreme Court Monday rejected the appeal of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person publicly charged in the United States in connection with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The justices announced their decision Monday after meeting privately Friday to discuss the case.
Moussaoui, an admitted member of al Qaeda, the Muslim terrorist group linked to the September 11 attacks, had asked the court to rule on whether his right to a fair trial hinges on obtaining testimony from other al Qaeda detainees who, he believes, would exonerate him.
Still no clue when we'll actually be able to put the bastard on trial...
Have a press conference where you announce that since Zacarias Moussaoui has converted to Kaballah and has decided to turn over information on the rest of al queada ( timed with a series of high profile arrests), that he is being rewarded with his freedom.
Then try to get off stage without breaking out in laughter.
yeah the cop show "arrest him and threaten with release"... awesome
just proof that you can torture people without saying 1 mean thing to them. and its very hard for defence lawyers to argue against release.
bwhahahahahaha
