U.S. throwing out Al Qaeda trial
Updating a story we "brought you back in July":http://www.nonviolence.org/articles/000008.php , the U.S. Justice Department wants to "drop the charges against the only person charged in an American court over the September 11 attacks two years ago":http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/26/national/26TeRR.html. The Justice Department doesn't want to allow Zacarias Moussaoui or his defense team to interview other suspected terrorists.
What does Moussaoui know? What do his potential defense witnesses know? And why doesn't U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft want these people to speak in an open trial? Moussaoui has admitted being a member of Al Qaeda but any information he or his witnesses know is at least two years old. Why is a trial so worrisome that the U.S. would throw away a trial over it?
