Moussaoui Seeks New Trial

Wow! A week after declaring that he had won and that the United States had lost, Zacarias Moussaoui apparently has decided that his victory wasn't quite so sweet. Either that or he feels he has a chance to abuse the system even a bit longer. From Breitbart:

"Moussaoui wishes to withdraw his guilty plea because when he entered the plea his 'understanding of the American legal system was completely flawed'," his lawyers said in the motion.

Moussaoui said in an affadavit "I now see that it is possible that I can receive a fair trial" in the United States.

"Even with Americans as jurors," he went on, "I can have the opportunity to prove that I did not have any knowledge of and was not a member of the plot to hijack planes and crash them into buildings on September 11, 2001."

"I wish to withdraw my guilty plea and ask the court for a new trial to prove my innocence of the September 11 plot," he said.
The circus continues a little bit longer.

May we please have military tribunals in the future for these scumbags?
